I thought that it'll be simpler, merely a question of whether to put
it or not to put it.
I'm guessing that release of docs depend on release of Emacs itself,
but because I don't know anything about how you are releasing them, in
it's difficult for me to define "release date". So, I would have to
know the sequence of the release process to pick a good place in time,
which, in my opinion of course, should be the release date.
I'm guessing that on day N, Emacs is packaged (tar.gz) and uploaded
to: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/
But then, is documentation (Info, PDF, HTML, sources package) also
build on the same day and uploaded to:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html
Or maybe documentation is uploaded few days after?
And then do they (docs) stay the same until next Emacs release, or are
they refreshed (corrected style, some minor errors/typos)?
