I have this same question, I thought we would keep the workflow with dim 
tool, but after I pointed drm-misc remote to gitlab, dim is not happy.

If I don't point drm-misc to gitlab, dim say it is outdated (but I'm 
using the last top of the tree of maintainer-tools).

So I was wondering if dim requires changes or if the workflow changed.
