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.

I don't believe there's a specific roadmap for features.

If someone writes a patch, it has a great chance to make it in.  It's as
simple as that (or, can be).

Critical bugs [such as data loss or crashes] and security fixes will
warrant rapid release of a Micro version.
Between Minor versions, they can vary a lot.

See the section "Phase one: feature proposal"

Typically, a feature/ticket with code has a great chance to make it it.
 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.

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.

As the release cycle notes say "working code trumps grand design"
