Can I add dates to a list or only to the cards in the list?

Three teams will be using the same board to do annual planning. The big goal is to be able to have all major topics (which will be created in lists) viewable in the timeline view so we can identify potential gaps and overlaps of resources. So, we'd like to be able to add date ranges to the lists themselves, not to the individual cards. Is that possible?

No, lists do not have any dates assigned to them. They're basically containers for cards, nothing more. 

As a workaround, try creating cards that would represent these "major topics", naming them exactly like lists and placing them on top of the list, then assign them due dates. In this way you would see the topic names in your timeline as you wanted.
