Add type to plugin tasks

[JavierSegoviaCordoba]

publishingProject.tasks.register(...) { }

As it is not using any type, I can't filter with withType if I want to disable the publishing tasks, and by name, it can have tons of tasks.

Yes, it was just an umbrella tasks to simplify task orchestration. Would you see it as a new custom type or rather reuse something existing from Gradle?

I am unsure if it is possible to reuse PublishToMavenRepository maybe a combination of both, PublishToSonatype extending PublishToMavenRepository, so it can be configured in a more granular way by the consumer.

Adding an option to the plugin extension, such as disableIf { ... }, can also be great.

Another workaround I am using is changing the root project version in order to allow publishing specific subprojects based on tag prefixes with different versions, but this would be a different issue (I think there is one already opened).
