I had to be told that one, apparently it is obvious 

The last line here http://rawpedia.rawtherapee.com/GIMP_Plugin

which says

Usage: Just open a raw file from GIMP. A RawTherapee editor window should open
automatically, which you can use to tweak your raw file. When you close the
window, the image gets imported into GIMP.

That does work, and the maintainer is incorporating an info pop-up into most
recent builds.
