get_model() only works because all models are "registered" with Django (which is primarily required to implement backwards-relations, but can also be exploited by something like the admin to get a list of models). There's no concept of forms being registered. That is, Django has precisely no idea what forms exist in your Python files. So get_form() wouldn't work without adding extra requirements. Even registering the forms automatically (if we only restricted things to python files in installed apps, which would be a restriction on what is possible now) would be quite painful. So I don't think this is a very practical idea.
