submission, publication...)

The type of graph you are trying to draw looks like a Gantt chart. Searching for
Gantt chart on the net will yield a lot of results. As others have pointed out,
vertical Gantt charts are very popular if you need to cover any length of time
beyond 4-5 'stops'. Last, the pic tool that works with roff/groff can help you
make simple annotated graphs very fast. It is easy to learn and use and works on
any *nix system.
