Migrating the drm repos will start earliest next year (because fd.o
admins need to rework some of the infrastructure). And this is the
optimistic estimate. We'll also try to make the transition as seamless
as possible for committers (the scripting we're using will
auto-upgrade remotes and everything, plus accounts will get migrated).

Holding off imo doesn't make sense, just means your driver won't land
for another 6 months or so, or at least be in some funny maintainer
limbo state.
