18180	add get_context_data to ModelAdmin/AdminSite	Stefano Apostolico	nobody	"add get_context_data to ModelAdmin/AdminSite

it's useful have a common place where configure common context variables ( as in class based view ).
Both ModelAdmin/AdminSite have no similar method, and you are forced to override all the views to put a
common object into the context (context processor is not a good solution because is involved also in non-admin's views).

The patch simply add {{{ get_context_data(**kwargs) }}} to ModelAdmin/AdminSite and change lines like
{{{
    context = {'key':value}
}}}
to
{{{
    context = self.get_context_data(**{'key':value})
}}}
if the idea is good maybe the patch can be changed to

{{{
    context = self.get_context_data(key1=val1, key2=val2,)
}}}
