I completely agree with Tobias. The general description for a contrib app is a "defacto standard implementation of a common pattern". While Grapelli's filebrowser may be very useful functionality, I don't see it meeting these criteria. That said - I *would* be interested in any proposal to improve the interface that contrib.admin provides so would make it easier to plug in external features such as a file browser. If django-filebrowser has become dependent on Grapelli, I presume this was to leverage some benefit of Grapelli that Django's native admin wasn't providing. To me, this points at a deficiency in Django's admin that should be addressed.
