If you’ve been following this mailing list for some time, you may have noticed
that proposals to add new settings aren’t very popular :-)

This is indeed the approach I would suggest. Many projects do this, typically
to add created_at, updated_at, UUID, etc

You can do this with a custom setting. It doesn’t have to be implemented in
Django. Just import dynamically your manager class:
from django.conf import settings
from django.utils.module_loading import import_string
DefaultManager = import_string(settings.DEFAULT_MODEL_MANAGER)
and apply it to your base class for your model, or anywhere else you need it:
from django.db import models
class ModelBase(models.Model):
objects = DefaultManager()
