Have now:
* enabled target milestones in Bugzilla
* milestoned NEARLY EVERYTHING with when we should get it done by
Unmilestoned issues are either "I don't care, get it done whenever" (for minor things) or "prioritized past Q409" (for bigger things). Will work out best way to differentiate that sooner or later.
For information on how this all works, please see Roadmap on-wiki.
Basically, barring the special-case functional milestones of "B - Open Beta" and "L - Site Launch", "target milestone" means "we want to have this done by the end of this time period". From the Wiki:
It is entirely possible, and in fact expected, that "L - Site Launch" will extend into Q309 -- that's the overlap period between transition from functional milestones to date-based milestones. During that time, we'll be working on both sets of milestones.

Basically, barring the special-case functional milestones of "B - Open Beta" and "L - Site Launch", "target milestone" means "we want to have this done by the end of this time period". From the Wiki:
Our two current milestones are functional: open beta and "site launch", which is when we will consider ourselves out of beta testing. After those milestones have passed, we'll use quarterly milestones: Q309, Q409, Q110, Q210, etc.
For the functional milestones, Target Milestone: Open Beta and Target Milestone: Site Launch means that the item should be finished before that goal.
For the date-based milestones, Target Milestone: QXXX means that the item should be finished by the final day of that quarter: "Q309" means that the item should be finished on or before September 30, 2009.
Blocking flags (blocking-open-beta+, blocking-launch+) means that the items are considered essential to that functional milestone.
