PASSWORD_HASHERS missed in "Full list of settings"

PASSWORD_HASHERS not in the list of settings, here:

Settings from contrib apps generally aren't included in the core settings list. (Some of them are for historical reasons.)

This ticket is actually a small subset of #14633. IMHO making the change for just one setting isn't going to improve the overall picture.

Oops, I've commited a fix for this (with backports to 1.5.x and 1.4.x).

This is the comment I posted to GitHub:

Oh sorry for not searching Trac and thanks for your work on this ticket.

I've found about this while trying to learn about the 1.3.->1.4->1.5 migration path and I've read one thread in the last week related to this (i.e. this is affecting users in the real world).

I can undo the commit easily but OTOH I think it's better to have it documented and don't block on a theoretical future docs refactoring.

Also, w/o this we have dummy :setting:PASSWORD_HASHERS in other parts of the docs.

And we already have another django.contrib.auth setting (PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT_DAYS) just below it.

I'm not against adding this (I originally accepted this ticket ;-)). I'll try to look at the settings reorganization soon.
