Happy to take pull requests - and if you are interested I'm looking for maintainers of this project

I agree that automatically adding a SubmitField could be nice. Otherwise in most situations you have to add it yourself manually in a template. What you could do right now is override flask_mongoengine.wtf.models.ModelForm, add a SubmitField to the overridden class and then call model_form(User, base_class=OverriddenModelClass).

WRT your 2nd point, you can easily change the field to PasswordField by calling model_form(User, field_args={'password': {'password': True}}). See field_args under http://docs.mongoengine.org/projects/flask-mongoengine/en/latest/#mongoengine-and-wtforms for more details.

@lafrech can you think of a reason (other than introducing a breaking change) why we shouldn't automatically add a SubmitField to every form generated with model_form? Basically it would automatically include an <input type="submit"> when rendering the form. One tricky thing about it though is that we'd probably need an extra argument passed into model_form (maybe via field_args) to define the value of the submit button, e.g. "save", "send", "confirm", etc.
