In the interests of good community relations, I want to clarify the
feedback you should be expecting.

Just because you've uploaded a patch doesn't mean you're going to get
immediate feedback. We're all volunteers, so our time is limited -
sometimes, this means that patches don't get triaged for a while.
Patience is required.

On top of that, we've just finished our feature discussion phase, and
we have nominated the features that are a high priority for the
project [1]. These are the features that will be receiving development
priority over the next few months. Features that aren't on this list
aren't going to get the immediate attention of the core team.

The feature list isn't completely locked off, though. Any feature with
a complete patch is potentially on the list for inclusion. However,
any feature that isn't on the list will require:

1) A champion in the core team to commit the code
2) A design and implementation that has been approved by the community
(as evidenced by discussion on django-dev)

That means you're going to need a member of the core team who is
excited about this possible feature. I can't speak for the other
members of the core team, but personally, this isn't a big itch. I can
certainly see how it could be useful, but I've already committed to
some big-ticket items that are much higher priorities for me
personally.

So - you need to have some patience. If you can't get a core developer
engaged as a result of this thread, you may need to wait until the
v1.3 feature discussion phase, which will open as soon as v1.2 is
finalized. Alternatively, you could help out with the features that we
have already agreed upon for v1.2, and maybe try to leverage the karma
you gain from doing that work into support for your WSGI patch.
