Python 3.8 adds aname argument to the functionasyncio.create_task. This allows to give all tasks an interpretable name, which can help with debugging and also provides more transparency for users.
We should

• revisit our code base to check all uses ofasyncio.create_task and provide meaningful names
• if possible, also extend the unit tests to assert that the name is set on the tasks. I'm not entirely sure if that's possible
