Description
In response to my post on django-users, Russ Magee suggested I open a ticket.
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/2593060c8f3958ed#
This patch uses the standard python list interface to provide a very simple
API for keeping a singly-ordered many-to-many relation field.
More info, plus a simple example and unit-tests here:

I have implemented an ordered m2m relation in a reusable app. Its not exactly the same approach you wanted to take like you described in your blog post but maybe a starting point.
Have a look here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=django-sortedm2m&version=0.1.1
Or start hacking and make the API the way you want by branching the code from launchpad:
bzr branch lp:django-sorted-m2m-field

This can be implemented externally, and the demand isn't big enough to include this in core. This doesn't seem to be something that most projects need.
Closing as wontfix.
Provides OrderedManyToManyField with convenient API
