They are really both, see django-registration, djangobb, pinax, and many other
django-apps (search google code and github).

This is really a question best left upto you to answer. Looking at existing
apps, some are small providing specific functionality (django-email-
notifiation iirc is another), others really huge providing a whole slew of
things (see djangobb and pinax). Others have made apps that just hold template
tags, to one app for the whole site (which most new django developers do).
My suggestion to you is to build it the way that makes it easy to maintain the
site, for you and developers after you. If some functionality that you come up
with can be of use to others, then it's worthwhile to make it it's own app and
release it into the wild via your fav license.
