Maybe I'm an idiot but there's no timeline anywhere in those links.

That's likely intentional? My employer doesn't give timelines either because of how hard it is to predict software development times.

Yes this is intentional. There are a couple reasons:

(1) It really depends on how much community feedback we get. If we’re planning feature A but suddenly loads of people want feature B, we’re gonna reprioritize and change timelines.

(2) People get really, really, really upset when you don’t hit your timeline. Its sort of a lose/lose for us. So, we use keep them close to heart.
