I found this now:
[Potential 2024-2025 goals: ship 1.0 language & 
organization](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/project/roadmap.md#potential-2024-2025-goals-ship-10-language--organization) :
«A major milestone will be the first version of a production 
language. We should also have finished transferring all 
governance of Carbon to an independent open source organization 
at that point. However, we won't know what a more realistic or 
clear schedule for these milestones will be until we get closer.»

Since all software projects of some size are delayed, I'd say 
2026… ;-)
