The Bills Due Reminder is not just short term, it should show all unpaid 
bills *that are posted*. (in conjunction with setting the reminder 
window via Preferences > Business > Bills > Notify when due & Days in 
advance.)

You can also do Business > Vendor > Find Bill and set the criteria to 
find unpaid bills.

GnuCash does not have a projection feature to automatically guess if 
certain bills continue or not. However, the Budget module may be useful 
there, (and it does have an estimating function based on historical 
activity) or you can employ future Scheduled Transactions (SX) which 
make a few reports designed for them a bit more useful for such a 
scenario. If you choose the SX route, you can get them to fire, run your 
report, delete them and then turn off the SXs till needed again. (*note, 
going the SX route is 'outside' the cognizance of the Business Features, 
so really only useful for projection reports, not as a regular 
data-entry substitute)
