dj-database-url gives Django developers two main things:
1. the ability to represent their database settings via a string (a-la
sqlalchemy); very useful for environmnent variables and 12factor apps.
2. it will automatically use the DATABASE_URL environment variable, if
present.
I'm not sure if #2 is appropriate for Django Core (but it would be nice,
as Gunicorn supports both PORT and WEB_CONCURRENCY), but I know #1 is
perfect. This plan has previously been discussed (at a conference,
DjangoCon EU in Zurich, long ago) and approved by JKM, before his role at
Heroku, if that is helpful information.
I think this change would vastly improve the usability of Django, and
would be an excellent and simple move for the project.
Many thanks for your consideration. <3

P.S. There is no "Settings" component in the issue tracker, that I can
find.
