Comment (by Hossein ):
defining AUTH_GROUP_MODEL in settings was a good solution, but apparently
it needs some work to get prioritized.
developers face problem when making a custom group model, as they want to
add fields and methods to Group model

group-model
Meanwhile, I suggest to make Group model get inherited from AbstractGroup.
In this way, one can make a CustomGroup (AbstarctGroup) in their code.
I made a PR to handel this:
