The versioning tab already has all necessary information, just remove
it from the document byline, no need to move it anywhere.  The
publishing history is not so expensive IIRC, but I think it is already
displayed on the content history form (e.g. advanced workflow), which
needs an overhaul in any case.  Generally though, I'm of the opinion
that we shouldn't be adding more content tabs if we can avoid it. :-)
