No support for multiple sitemaps?

See original GitHub issue

Why not make sitemaps an array instead? Multiple sitemap entries are allowed according to the specification.

https://developers.google.com/search/reference/robots_txt

[absoluteURL] points to a Sitemap, Sitemap Index file or equivalent URL. The URL does not have to be on the same host as the robots.txt file. Multiple sitemap entries may exist. As non-group-member records, these are not tied to any specific user-agents and may be followed by all crawlers, provided it is not disallowed.
