What should I do?

OT1H, editing the Info files makes no sense nowadays, so a separate
node is quite useless.  OTOH, there are other nodes in info.texi under
"Expert Info" describing how to manually create Info nodes.  It would
not harm to add new node "Edit document" under "Expert Info" where it
won't bother most users.

If not, the two paragraphs about making Info document editable could
be added to the node "Add" after the following sentence:

    However, if you want to edit an Info file manually and
    install it manually, here is how.
