Adding these options to manage.py test makes sense! I agree they are super helpful. Shall we create a separated topic to propose the (extension?) feature and gain consensus?
Honestly that is one of the things where consensus is imo a given thing. The functionality already exists in Django so it literally makes no sense to expose that as 3rd party app when we can reuse the existing code. We obviously need a ticket but I don’t think there will be any arguments there.
I agree, let’s get a ticket (in a rush atm otherwise would write myself).

- I was hesitant to make UX decisions on this one because everyone that looks at the branch has/had different opinions about the best UI (including me!). So, I decided to ping the experts in the area, starting with @thibaudcolas. The whole conversation and conclusions can be read in the Discord messages, but long story short, we had an impromptu meeting with @thibaudcolas and @fsbraun , which led to a follow up meeting with the Wagtail UI design team for consultation, which in turn led to a concrete and feasible plan forward. Big Thank Yous to everyone who collaborated in this effort!

Thank you, everyone, for this amazing year. It has been incredibly invigorating, and I’ve learned so (SO!) much about Django, its community, and its processes (and still so much more to learn!). I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many amazing people, and I feel fortunate and incredibly privileged.
