Description
Extracted from #19550.
While Google does not have any hard requirements for posts to appear in Google News, Google News compatible RSS Feeds seem to offer an advantage when the posts are displayed.
The basic requirements seem to be a valid RSS feed, but there are additional requirements here:

Maybe Jetpack could customize the RSS feed format to match those requirements when the Sitemap module is enabled.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Google News Publisher Center requirements linked in the issue, then inspect how the Sitemap module currently exposes or customizes RSS feeds. Done means there is an agreed implementation scope and the resulting feed meets the applicable Google News compatibility requirements.
