One minor suggestion - there's not really any need to put this into the django.contrib namespace. django.contrib is intended as a collection of officially sanctioned extensions, not a general storage place for other plugins. It shouldn't make any difference to the way your code runs - it just means people don't get confused into thinking that your code is part of the official distribution that they are missing for some reason. Another suggestion, but a procedural one: I would suggest that you upload this to djangosnippets.org. As a message in a mailing list, this good work is easy to lose - on snippets, it is archived along with lots of other useful goodies.
