How about deciding what the major goals of the next release should be
(within reason of course), estimating about how long it should take to
meet those goals, and then add in whatever else seems reasonable in the
given time frame?

Fedora Core is not a marketing driven project like the commercial
distros; releases need not be done on a fixed schedule.  Instead, they
should be made when there is something worth making a major release and
based on technology goals.

That would be a big plus; before diving in to the next release, get the
infrastructure done.  I think anaconda with repo support should be a
requirement for Extras to be considered "tier 1", but Extras also needs
to be able to operate smoothly (mostly) automatically so you have more
time to work on yum and such.
