説明
We should add some timeout logic when spawning potentially time unbounded goroutines that call code we don’t directly control (e.g. a dependency). For example, this is the case of the file attachment content extraction. These goroutines can take a long time to return (or even fail to do so) causing both a leak and a potential deadlock when shutting down the server.
