The odd numbered releases are considered "unstable" as in "we can change the API / ABI", but we commit to keeping them stable across stable releases, which are even numbered. So, next stable release is 0.12, but we have no ETA yet. As Fedor mentioned, we used to do NodeJS and libuv major releases in tandem, but that might change, specially now that libuv is also used in other major projects such as Julia or Rust. We'll need to discuss specifics, but I'd say having (libuv) 0.12 before the end of the year is reasonable.
