Well, since a couple of years, the GCC branching happens when the
first release candidate is build. The actual release is then one or
two weeks later - depending how many P1 bugs or other issues are
found. Regarding the release time: In the last few years, GCC was
usually released in March, April or May.
In case of GCC 4.8.0: RC1 plus branching March 16, 4.8.0 release
March 21 (announced: March 22). See also

Regarding 4.9: My guess would be that it will take a bit longer
this year due to some larger changes late in the game. Last status
report (1 month ago): http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2013-12/msg00203.html
