@ewjoachim has posted the above blog post by Google in the Django Discord which details that Google is depreciating the sitemap ping, and will remove it 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.
