Django: release code words up to 6.1

A fun look at a hidden Django tradition: each release announcement uses a unique, often obscure word (like 'smorgasbord', 'salmagundi', or 'mélange') to describe its collection of new features. The post compiles the full list from Django 1.8 through the upcoming 6.1, notes word frequency data for each, and highlights a few curiosities — including that Django 3.2's code word 'mezcla' is so rare it doesn't appear in English frequency data, and that 5.2's 'composite' was a nod to the composite primary key feature added in that release.
