And you're right -- the result is that the first part (introducing the new validation framework) will take more time (about 8 weeks instead of 6). Merging django-secure will take one week longer. The proposal is still available here [1]. I rewritten "schedule and milestone" part -- that was mainly adding more details, so there is no need to review it again. I've published my proposal as a gist. Can I point to it in the submit proposal form? Repasting it and formatting again might be boring job.
