Optional threaded uploads #1250
Description
Some projects have a large number of artifacts they need to upload for a release. This could be faster by leveraging requests-toolbelt's ability to parallelize requests across a thread pool of sessions. Alternatively, given our new authentication class for Trusted Publishing, we could do our own threaded implementation.
Todo:
- make sure this is off by default initially and behind a flag
- verify progress bar behavior
- find a project willing to experiment with this and report bugs
See also #1246 for motivation and discussion
In the past I have avoided the complexity of relying on something like threading to parallelize uploads. Would it potentially be a helpful mitigation here too? It will certainly mess up our progress bars but I can imagine that combined with the token refresh logic would help these users regardless
