Description

Ref: https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/6211#issuecomment-513102869

The distributing guide should now mention the possibility of getting access tokens on a per-project basis and recommend that for use at least in automatic CI/CD systems: https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#create-an-account

Also: @Ewjoachim brought up a question about storing multiple tokens
https://twitter.com/Ewjoachim/status/1154474823717982208. This should probably be also clearly answered in docs.
