Description

I'm attaching a screenshot. It looks a bit cluttered I think, any comments on improvements for UX or where I should place the count/styling would be greatly appreciated.

The question if this should be applied for emails remains outstanding.

I'm not sure it's a common use case to make it default. Perhaps you can make it optional.

I hope not to discourage you from contributing or raising other ideas, but this particular one seems very niche to me. I can't think of one site where I've seen something like this. I don't think it's something that needs to live in Django itself as you should be able to implement this as custom admin CSS and JavaScript.
