How about - there are 2 real \n in the sed commands:

$ grep '@subtitle' lib[cm]/lib[cm].texi
libc/libc.texi:@subtitle Full Configuration
libc/libc.texi:@subtitle @code{libc} 2.5.0
libc/libc.texi:@subtitle December 2016
libm/libm.texi:@subtitle @code{libm} 2.5.0
libm/libm.texi:@subtitle December 2016
$ sed_fmt='/^\(@subtitle\s\).*20[0-9][0-9].*$/s!!\1%(creatordate:format:%F)!
/^\(@subtitle\s@code{lib[cm]}\s\)[1-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+$/s!!\1%(refname:short)!
/^\(@subtitle\s@code{lib[cm]}\s\)newlib-\([1-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+\)$/s!!\1\2!'
$ git tag -l --format="$sed_fmt" 'newlib-[1-9][-_.].[0-9][-_.][0-9]' \
	| tail -n3 | sed -f - -i lib[cm]/lib[cm].texi
$ grep '@subtitle' lib[cm]/lib[cm].texi              libc/libc.texi:@subtitle 
Full Configuration
libc/libc.texi:@subtitle @code{libc} 4.3.0
libc/libc.texi:@subtitle 2023-01-20
libm/libm.texi:@subtitle @code{libm} 4.3.0
libm/libm.texi:@subtitle 2023-01-20
$ sed_fmt='/^\(@subtitle\s\).*20[0-9][0-9].*$/s!!\1%(creatordate:format:%B %Y)!
/^\(@subtitle\s@code{lib[cm]}\s\)[1-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+$/s!!\1%(refname:short)!
/^\(@subtitle\s@code{lib[cm]}\s\)newlib-\([1-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+\)$/s!!\1\2!'
$ git tag -l --format="$sed_fmt" 'newlib-[1-9][-_.][0-9][-_.][0-9]' \
	| tail -n3 | sed -f - -i lib[cm]/lib[cm].texi
$ grep '@subtitle' lib[cm]/lib[cm].texi              libc/libc.texi:@subtitle 
Full Configuration
libc/libc.texi:@subtitle @code{libc} 4.3.0

Where to put it: git hook reference-transaction("committed") with stdin matching
'ZEROID REFOID refs/tags/newlib-[1-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+[-_.][0-9]\+', part of some 
release process, or in a script?

Elsewhere like assuming git in doc/Makefile.inc, or hook for commit of 
newlib/acinclude.m4 with any line matching '^AC_DEFUN([DEF_NEWLIB_.*_VERSION]' 
where value ',[.*]))$' changes would seem to be more problematic.
