SCOTUSBlog also gives the conference lists for Oct 5 and 12, and none of those cases appear there. This is consistent with speculation that all the marriage equality cases will be considered together at some yet unspecicified date, when all the cases are ready, which may well be after the election. All four DOMA appeals before the Supreme Court (Gill, Golinski, Pedersen & Windsor) and the Proposition 8 appeal now appear at SCOTUSBlog (which is not official) as being “Petitions Not Set for Conference” at all:

What is the deadline. BEFORE the November election I hope. So WHEN do they disclose their donors and what happens if they don’t, or procrastinate? What is the deadline.

Unless they think they can appeal to a higher authority. Maybe they'll simply refuse to disclose based on the claim that the Pope told them they don't have to. That would be fun to watch.
