@ewjoachim has posted the above blog post by Google in the Django Discord which details that Google will be depreciating the sitemap ping in 6 months time (end of January 2024).

This ping endpoint is used by `contrib.django.sitemaps` (`ping_google()` in `__init__.py`) and also has an associated management command which will require depreciation if Google are going to disable the endpoint."	Cleanup/optimization	new	contrib.sitemaps	4.2	Normal				Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
