alt Hacker NewsSorry, but how does Kanban come into this?
From your description, SCRUM, could work just as equally.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Kanban, it's awesome for visually presenting where bottlenecks are for tasks, but estimations aren't a feature of that.
But SCRUM maybe, where people are having a sprint planning meeting maybe more what you're thinking?

When working with kanban I maintained a average number of card done per days. if someone asked when some card woud be done, I just multiplied the number of card ahead of that one by average and get an estimate. You can estimate the cards but usually it doesnt really improve accuracy as tasks are on average the same size.
Kanban in IT world in my experience implies approach where you focus on the work and tasks as they come based on priority. It doesn't imply what is on the board is finished strictly by some date, as the whole premise is that you can't really know.
SCRUM implies sprints where you agree in advance what will be actually pulled into sprints and delivered by the team so spillovers are not really expected / wanted.
