When we sign a new version of an extension, web-ext waits for approval in order to download the signed XPI (it waits for some time, then it gives up). For a end user, it is probably a sensible behavior but web-ext is also used in CI.
In this case, it'd be interesting to expose a new CLI flag to disable this waiting loop and only store the metadata we get from the submission call itself. Ideally, the metadata should be enough to retrieve the signed XPI at a later point in time. Maybe we could even print a link that will eventually point to an actual XPI (once this is signed).
