I don't think you can do it with Texinfo features.

I use Emacs to update the time of last change line automatically each
time I edit a file.

As for edition, I think it's not a good idea to do that automatically,
since a decision about releasing a document is something a human needs
to be involved in.  But if you really want that, I guess some simple
Emacs Lisp code could do that, too.  (In Emacs, you can put code
snippets into a file, to be executed when the file is read or saved.)
