Summing up the discussion on the GitHub PR here:

On the plus side, Django does provide very similar decorators and mixins, so it is surprising that superuser_required is not already a part of Django.

On the other hand, adding a decorator like this is trivial with user_passes_test. We could add a decorator like this to the user_passes_test documentation, to make sure searching for this (fairly reasonable) requirement yields helpful information.
