'contrib.redirects' documentation doesn't say whether it's a 301 or 302
In https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/redirects/ it should be said that the redirects are permanent (i.e. 301), not 302. Although one could guess that's the reasonable behavior, better make it explicit. On the other hand, at the end of the page there is a mention of how to change the response classes used, and that the default value of RedirectFallbackMiddleware.response_redirect_class is HttpResponsePermanentRedirect, so it could be inferred that the default behavior is return a 301 but again, not explicit enough.

I agree, this should be mentionned more prominently (maybe even in the first paragraph).
