Yes! As of one minute ago, I added a "list_select_related" option to
meta.Admin. Thanks for the great suggestion.
Note that Django automatically adds select_related=True to its query
on the "change list" page if the list_display includes a ForeignKey
field. As you noted, though, using a custom method
("get_owner_fullname") doesn't tell Django that you're using a
ForeignKey.
