All hands on deck.. ;)
I wouldn't mind having an additional pair of hands to help. Normal
backend is in rather good shape - all tests do pass. GIS backend on
the other hand is having more or less fun-to-fix issues.
I've made some progress to make current backend even pass the tests.
If you want to help, you can poke me on #django or #django-dev irc
channels so I can give you a sitrep what I know and what needs further
investigations.
Hit enter too fast. I forgot to mention that my IRC nick is jtiai :-)

Hi everybody,
I would like to volunteer to help maintain Oracle and Oracle GIS
backend. I have been developing (commercial) apps with Django
framework and oracle backend for 8 years now. I am familiar with the
problems associated with it because few times I have been forced to
find ways to solve them:)
FeliXX

Django team seeks help maintaining Oracle and Oracle GIS backends
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several members of the Django team that have previously provided
Oracle
expertise no longer work with Oracle in their day jobs, and
therefore, the team
is seeking new contributors who have an ongoing interest in the
backend.
Ideally, the team seeks to move the Oracle backend from
"built-in" status, to a pip
installable backend that would be maintained under the "django"
GitHub account.
Your duties would include monitoring a build that runs with
Django master and the
latest version of the Oracle backend and fixing any issues that
arise. To help with
the continuous integration infrastructure, knowledge of
maintaining Oracle servers
would also be a plus, but these duties could be split among
several people. Please
introduce yourself on the `django-developers mailing list`_ if
this is something you
are interested in.
Also, the Oracle GIS backend has been broken for several months and
no one has answered `requests for help`_ on the django-developers and
geodjango mailing lists. If no one helps out, this backend will
be dropped in
Django 1.9. This is the least used backend according to the
`Django Developers
Community Survey`_, receiving 5 votes out of more than 3,000
responses.
