I have just recently merged the newforms-admin branch into trunk as of r7967 [1]. This is an extremely backward incompatible change. The entire admin application in contrib has been refactored. The newforms module has a few new features, but those changes are backward compatible. The branch also converted django.contrib.auth to use newforms. I have documented these changes in the usual place [2].
I would like to thank Karen Tracey for her tremendous work triaging tickets, finding the root of problems and supplying patches where needed. Also, on behalf of the core developers involved with the branch we would like thank everyone who has tested the branch and reported bugs. Without your hard work and contribution we couldn't have made Django this much better without you! Thanks.
Bugs should no longer be marked with version 'newforms-admin' as the branch is now closed.

Thank you Brian, and thank you to all the numerous contributors. Your
work is very much appreciated.

Since 7871 (in 7872, in fact) an autodiscover function was added to admin. You can see how it's recommended to be used if you search for autodiscover here:
I'm guessing you don't call it and that is why the admin bits for those apps are not showing up.
(But actually when I neglect to call it and then try to access the admin I get a Site Administration page saying I don't have permission to edit anything, so I can't replicate your symptoms exactly via that explanation...)
Thanks for that, had a quick read and it looks like I don't need to
import each admin.py from all my own apps that way anymore either in
the __init__.py of each app, as autodiscover now handles all that,
nice. It bought back the Auth and Sites app too.
