Currently there's very little logging within the authentication subsystem,
which makes it much harder to trace why a particular path is happening (in
my case why TestClient.force_login wasn't working, so I ended up
scattering the django codebase with print functions). Would the developers
be open to a patch to increase the amount of logging (which would be at
the debug level)?

Comment:
Thanks for this ticket, as far as I'm aware this is a duplicate of #20495
(which is generally about increasing logging in the authentication but
with concrete examples like failed login attempts). Please check this
discussion.
For the future, you'll reach a wider audience if you write to the
DevelopersMailingList about your ideas. A trac ticket should contain a
description of what do you want to log not only an idea ''"...increase the
amount of logging"''.
