You're not also checking the bug tracker, though.  It *also* has tags
for next/future bug/feature releases.  So there are four "milestones"
coming up, with the next empty one being "next incompatible release".

The next release (bugfix) has been hampered by the windows port bug.
I think I've got that nailed down, so as soon as we stabilize the
ongoing work (nanometer conversion, mostly) we can consider a release.

Unfortunately, my vision is often hampered by reality.

Just because there was a discussion, does not mean you have a right to
hear it.  If I waited for a consensus in this mailing list, nothing
would get done.  But this mailing list is not the only fora that the
pcb admins ("we") have for talking together.  We also use IRC and
private discussions.

But, the theory is that the admins responsible for the releases move
items from the wish list to the specific releases when we think it's
feasible that they'll be do-able.

As for the bug tracker items, there are other admins who manage those
as well as the regular admins.
