It's a good question, thanks for asking. We are behind the planned schedule
at this point.

If you follow the same alpha/beta/rc/release process of the main project
you should be able to release close by.

Once Beta is announced, probably in Sept, then extensions can go Beta also.
Postgres Beta freezes the APIs as much as possible, so you'll have time to
support that before the main project releases.

Many extensions support multiple releases, I know. In that case it makes
sense to state clearly the level of support for each release, e.g.
PostGIS 2.2.0 offers Production Support of 9.4, Beta Support of 9.5
then include any later changes into 2.2.1, if any, or simply just announce
2.2.0 as supporting 9.5 if nothing changed.
