Comment (by Mike Edmunds):
So the goal is a system check that warns if `"default" not in
settings.MAILERS`. Couple of questions:
* Projects that haven't configured `MAILERS` because they don't send mail
will need to silence the check. Are we OK with that? 🤔
* None of the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.1/ref/checks/#builtin-
tags built-in tags] seem to apply. I'm thinking we should add a tag for
`mail`?
Other notes:
* This check could be added immediately, but before 7.0 the test will need
to be `hasattr(settings, "MAILERS") and …` (because `MAILERS` doesn't
exist by default until 7.0).
* Suggested `msg`: "There is no 'default' configuration in your MAILERS
setting."
* Suggested `hint`:
* If `MAILERS` is empty: "Sending email will cause an error."
* If `MAILERS` has other keys: "Sending email without specifying 'using'
will cause an error."
