Not every app needs/has urls.py to be included. "models.py" is imported Django's get_app(). So, something like admin.autodiscover() will also import your models. The problem with putting signal handlers in __init__, is that it isn't the place you would really expect Model related code to live (like post_save). It can also lead to non-obvious cyclic imports, 'cause your handler code will most likely need some models, etc.
