In cases like this where the entire feature is new, I don't think it makes sense to put all the documentation for the feature within the ``versionadded`` directive. This approach doesn't scale well to new features which require more than one paragraph of documentation, and makes it confusing for an author of a later change to the feature to know how to update the documentation with e.g. a ``.. versionchanged:: 1.7`` directive.

I would rather either have an empty ``versionadded`` directive at the beginning of the feature's documentation, or explicitly have a single line of content within ``versionadded`` that just says  "The ``get_list_filter`` method was added in Django 1.5."
