I do exactly this for every new Django project, so it's +1 from me as well.

Greetings, friends!
I've issued a PR that makes two changes to the
`startproject` template:
* instead of putting configuration files such
as `settings.py`, `wsgi.py`, and the
root `urls.py` in `my_project/my_project`, they are
created in `my_project/config`
* start the project with a custom User model app, `users`
Over the years, I've taught or tutored over 100 Djangonauts
starting their first project. Having to distinguish between
two directories with the same name is a constant pain point in
the teaching process - "cd into my_project ... no, the other one!"
* The `config` option seemed to be the consensus from this
thread in the forum: Django New Project Structure/Name -
Using Django - Django Forum (djangoproject.com)
<https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/django-new-project-structure-name/9987>
* Ticket: https://github.com/django/django/pull/15609
It is sometimes better to show rather than tell, so following
our own documentation and including a custom User model with
the initial project template reinforces the best practice that
we explicitly point out in the documentation.
* Ticket: #27909 (Use AUTH_USER_MODEL in startproject
template) – Django (djangoproject.com)
<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27909>
* Avoids ever having this come up again:
https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2019/04/26/how-switch-custom-django-user-model-mid-project/
Here's a link to the PR:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/15609
My apologies for not starting with a discussion first. I'm an
infrequent contributor to the Django codebase!
Regards,
Tim
