I just looked into this a few days ago for an application I am currently working on. Via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19772800/django-many-to-many-generic-relationship I came across the project you mentioned and also another third-party application that seems to achieve something similar with a slightly different approach when it comes to table management: https://bitbucket.org/tkhyn/django-gm2m (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-gm2m) The Stackoverflow thread references http://python.6.x6.nabble.com/Generic-ManyToMany-Functionality-td476651.html - so in 2007, there was support for this kind of feature, just not the time to implement it. I also think it would be useful to have it in Django. However, as there are two third-party applications available that cover this requirement, I am not sure if it really needs to be integrated into Django. Maybe other people on the mailing list have a better overview about how relevant such a feature is.
