I've been wondering myself exactly how to set reasonable schedules.
Setting priorities is not the total answer.

I suddenly occurs to me that "housecleaning" probably best describes
the process of choosing what to include or exclude in a release.

Step 1: Feature freeze.  There comes a time when the cost of adding
new features gets too high.  Exceptions like DnD do happen, but they
are rare.

Step 2: Fix, finish and clean as much as possible until a) a drop-dead
deadline or b) nothing more can be fixed easily enough to be
worthwhile.

We're almost at the feature freeze stage with 4.8, but I have to make
exceptions to finish DnD, to fix @edit and to make better tools for
slideshows.  After that, the bug list rules.
