34224	App name in help text of commands is missing context	David	nobody	"In the help text shown by `python manage.py help`, only the last part (after the last dot) of the app name is shown. See ManagementUtility.main_help_text.

Imagine a project that implements multiple apps; more than one of which defines custom commands:

- project.core
- project.app1
- project.appN

These might show up as:

{{{
[appN]
    command_one
    command_two

[auth]
    ...

[contenttypes]
    ...

[core]
    command_one
    command_two
}}}

There are problems with this: It is not clear what ""core"", ""appN"" and so on, refer to, as they are missing the ""project"" context. And I don't think it is reasonable to assume that everybody who deploys this project will know by heart which of the apps belong to ""project"" and which don't. Due to the alphabetical sorting, apps belonging to the ""project"" are not grouped together which makes it more difficult to find relevant commands. In this example it would be nice to see this instead:

{{{
[django.contrib.auth]
    ...

[django.contrib.contenttypes]
    ...

[project.appN]
    command_one
    command_two

[project.core]
    command_one
    command_two
}}}

I think it would be beneficial to either allow the developer of an app to decide what is shown here, and/or show the full module/package name (by default). I'm sure both of these approaches also have drawbacks. I could imagine app names being quite long (even django.contrib.contenttypes is quite long already). Also people might try to ""shadow"" existing names."	New feature	closed	Core (Management commands)	4.1	Normal	wontfix		Aymeric Augustin	Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
