The XWiki development process uses JIRA for listing all tasks to be implemented and all bugs to be fixed. You'll find there the dates and versions planned for issues to be fixed and hence the XWiki roadmaps.

If you're interested to help out check the contributing page.

Already implemented roadmaps can be found in the archives, and you can also check the release notes for past releases.
