| If the feature is approved for Django core, a feature ticket may be created here on Trac. |

(nitpick 1) Is "Django core" a well-defined concept? On Trac, "core" is mostly used in the "component" field in opposition to "contrib". Personally I also associate the word with the "core team" which does not exist anymore.
(nitpick 2) What does "approved" mean here exactly? Approved by whom? Per the description of this PR the "new features" project board is experimental, but this proposed sentence makes it sound like it's now a required step in getting a new feature ticket open. Did I misunderstand something?

Nitpick 1: I guess we could say github.com/django/django instead. I'm not sure if that's better. I'm also open to other suggestions.
Nitpick 2: Approved via the new feature tracker or a DEP is what I had in mind. In either case that's currently down to the Steering Council reflecting the community opinion on the proposal. I'm not really sure how much to emphasise or downplay the experimental nature of this process here. I think for the duration of the experiment we're basically treating the new process as the way to do this. If we realise after a while that it's also not working, we'll revisit.

Nitpick 1: If it helps provide context, the new features process is encompassing feature ideas within the whole Django ecosystem. Not just repos that the DSF controls. This is why we're needing to define something about what is in django/django and what's not.

Thanks for the additional context! I don't have an alternate proposal so I'm going to merge this as-is and we can circle back to it in the future or if we get feedback that this isn't clear.
No need holding back this (positive) change 👍🏻

Updates the new ticket readme to point users to use the experimental new feature idea tracker introduced by the Steering Council.
