Right now, there are ways for package maintainers to test and share
draft versions of their upcoming releases, but they cause friction and
confusion. So we want to add staged releases -- a temporary state that a
release can be in, where PyPI _has_ it and can evaluate it, but hasn't
_published_ it yet. In 2015, Nathaniel Smith opened an issue
https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/726 saying:
> it would be very nice if there where better ergonomics around package uploads -- in particular some way to upload a new release, and then take a look over it to double-check that everything is correct before you -- as a second step -- hit the button to make it "go live".
