The beauty of kickstarter is that people speak with their wallets. If a project doesn't have a merit, then no one would pitch in and that would be the end of the project.
Django admin is a great tool. In my projects I use it for quick view and edits so I don't have to fallback to command line or SQL. Mind you, that I have put extensive checks and validation around it to ensure I don't have a booboo. I think a nicer admin (more modern and feature rich) would encourage newcomers to pick up Django as their main framework and that in-turn injects fresh blood into the community. Imagine a Django-Admin that could turn Django into a replacement of Wordpress in 5 minutes? (not a perfect example, but you get what I mean) Can't wait for "new" South ...
