Django RSS feed not validate on http://validator.w3.org.
For example, I test this feed https://www.djangoproject.com/rss/community/blogs/
The result is at http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.djangoproject.com%2Frss%2Fcommunity%2Fblogs%2F
It says:

I'm going to have a look at the http link, everything should be https.
Indeed the other warnings don't appear to be under our control.

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
There are only two actual validation errors there: one is because the feed self-references at an "http" URL and you are validating it at an "https" URL - if you read the help for that issue, that's not actually a problem as long as the two URLs reference the same document, which they do.
The second is an issue with a "guid" tag whose contents are not a URL, that does not have the isPermaLink="false" attribute. I'm not sure, but I think since this feed is an aggregator we are taking that guid straight from the aggregated blog. It will be hard to avoid issues like this with an aggregator.
The rest are warnings that mostly seem to do with the validator not liking certain tags used in entity-escaped HTML in some entries. Again, this is not something we'll be able to control in an aggregated feed.
This bug was tagged as "contrib.syndication", but none of the above issues reflect an actual problem with code in "contrib.syndication"
