The changes themselves look good.
Made a suggestion to do a bit of tidy up while at it (Drop Django < 4.2, Python < 3.9)

Thanks @zerolab — I've added this change. I'm not sure where you mean to drop Python 3.8 — I think Django 4.2 still supports Py3.8.

I did drop Django3.2 from the tox dependencies.

[zerolab]

While Django 4.2 still supports it, Python 3.8 is no longer maintained - https://endoflife.date/python - so this is a good time to drop it

a few more suggestions

[mark-meyer]

Thanks @zerolab - I also cleaned up some of the GitHub workflow to remove references to the removed toxenvs and updated the docs.

LGTM.
Will leave the tests to run. Hopefully we can make a new release tomorrow (as it is end of the day for me, at least)

Hi @zerolab Is there anything blocking this being released now?

[zerolab]

Unfortunately I do not have the power to make a release.
