Sometimes network requests can get stuck or take very long time. on ews-app it can introduce delays in patch submissions from EWS django app to Buildbot. We should add an explicit timeout to network requests, so that the network request is timely terminated and retried in subsequent iteration of ews-app appropriately.
Created attachment 404343 [details] Patch
As per https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/quickstart/#timeouts: "Nearly all production code should use this parameter in nearly all requests. Failure to do so can cause your program to hang indefinitely"
In the past, I noticed few times ews-app getting stuck and not submitting patches to Buildbot for long time (even though the status-bubbles and /results kept working fine), restarting ews-app helped at those times. I believe I finally got to the bottom of the issue.
