Hi, while this is an imperative request rather than a symptomatic one, I think we might actually be doing something that will solve the symptoms (of being unable to work on projects with dependencies.

Breaking it down, you're asking for:
 - duration estimates (bug 723716, bug 787642)
 - a needed-by-date facility analogous to using milestones for scheduling
 - PERT diagrams
 - GANTT diagrams
 - dependencies between bugs (bug 95419)
 - categorisation of items (we support that with bug tags today)
 - integrated timeline of commits on the diagrams
 - ical export of such diagrams

I think that these could be useful filed as separate bugs, with this one being repurposed into one of those specific cases. For now though, I'm just going to open it and leave it triaged - we've no immediate plans to work on this, but conceptually letting folk do project management work in LP fits in well with the blueprints facility, the planned Issue tracker convergence, and jml's dashboard concept.
