This PR:
receive each proposal to be fetched, which is the actual behavior we want. Before, with broadcast,
we had multiple fetchers always fetching the same proposal, which is why we saw race conditions
causing database serialization errors. It should now be possible to reenable multiple workers.
(e.g. to recursively fetch the parent of the proposal it had just fetched), but the channel is
full, blocking the consumer, the very task responsible for clearing the blockage.
