Hi Cody, I suspect many of your questions may be answered in the documentation here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/internals/release-process/ Here's some comments from my experience with using django since its initial release, and recently making a concerted effort to submit code.

If someone writes a patch, it has a great chance to make it in.

That said, a number of my changes that have made it into 1.7 were proposed and accepted in a matter of a few days. > Is there another way that developers get what the community wants? > Open a ticket, provoke discussion on the django-dev mailing list, and champion the ticket -- either by writing the code yourself, or finding someone to do it for you.
