Description

Inspired by https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/main/.github/workflows/nightlies.yml
I would like to propose and explore supporting a workflow where builds are separated from uploading. This would save CPU time by re-using previous build results.

The security implications seem acceptable and possibly non-existent to me; the currently supported workflow (re-build then upload) not being any more secure than this proposal, as far as I can tell.

Is there any appetite for it ?

Research direction

Start by comparing matplotlib's .github/workflows/nightlies.yml with the current build-and-upload workflow in this repository. Trace how builds and uploads are separated, assess the stated security implications, and define what artifact handoff and validation would be required. Done means the workflow design and its implementation or review path are clearly established.
