I'm afraid I'm going to have a number of ignorant questions as I plow into 
Mayan -- I have never worked with Django before, and am relatively new to 
Python, though I am anything but new to programming in general. 

It looks like there is some system of cascading .ini type .py files which 
are parsed as settings files, and that Mayan has a long list of them it 
adds on top of Django, documented 
at http://mayan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/settings.html

I see in the setup documentation, toward the end of the 
page https://mayan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html a 
mention of creating my own settings file. I presume this is one I would 
create to layer on top of the others with my local modifications and 
additions? The format seems relatively clear, such as adding:
*WEB_THEME_VERBOSE_LOGIN = False*

If I follow the docs here: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/settings/ it looks like I need 
to add something to my wsgi setup to indicate where to find the settings, 
and in mayan/wsgi.py I find the line: 
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mayan.settings")

but I can't find any file named "mayan.settings". Should there be one or do 
I only need one when I want to override defaults? Where should it be 
placed? Am I missing any other piece of this puzzle?
