The content of the file list, i.e., filenames, has no associated filesystem metadata for any of the files named in your text file. You would have use the stat command on each one of the filenames in the text file.
And you will have to use epoch times ( seconds since Jan 1 1970).
It is easier with a reference file that has been set to a specified mtime file with the touch command, shell does file time comparisons ( -ot, -nt ):
Can you create the text file list first with both a filename and a filetime (in epoch seconds) for each line in the text file? And then read that?

Operation modes:
--list print the available module names.
--import
import the given modules into the current package; if no modules are specified, update the current package from the current gnulib.
--update
update the current package, restore files omitted from CVS.
--create-testdir
create a scratch package with the given modules.
--create-megatestdir
create a mega scratch package with the given modules one by one and all together.
--test test the combination of the given modules (recommended to use CC="gcc -Wall" here).
--megatest
test the given modules one by one and all together (recommended to use CC="gcc -Wall" here).
--extract-description
extract the description.
--extract-filelist
extract the list of files.
--extract-dependencies
extract the dependencies.
--extract-autoconf-snippet
extract the snippet for configure.ac.
--extract-automake-snippet
extract the snippet for lib/Makefile.am.
--extract-include-directive
extract the #include directive.
--extract-license
report the license terms of the source files under lib/.
--extract-maintainer
report the maintainer(s) inside gnulib.
--extract-tests-module
report the unit test module, if it exists.
Options:
--dir=DIRECTORY
specify the target directory. For --import, this specifies where your configure.ac can be found. Defaults to current directory.
--lib=LIBRARY
Specify the library name. Defaults to 'libgnu'.
--source-base=DIRECTORY
Directory relative --dir where source code is placed (default "lib"), for --import.
--m4-base=DIRECTORY
Directory relative --dir where *.m4 macros are placed (default "m4"), for --import.
--tests-base=DIRECTORY
Directory relative --dir where unit tests are placed (default "tests"), for --import.
--aux-dir=DIRECTORY
Directory relative --dir where auxiliary build tools are placed (default "build-aux").
--with-tests
Include unit tests for the included modules.
--avoid=MODULE
Avoid including the given MODULE. Useful if you have code that provides equivalent functionality. This option can be repeated.
--lgpl Abort if modules aren't available under the LGPL. Also modify license template from GPL to LGPL.
--libtool
Use libtool rules, for --import.
--macro-prefix=PREFIX
Specify the prefix of the macros 'gl_EARLY' and 'gl_INIT'. Default is 'gl'.
--no-changelog
don't update or create ChangeLog files.
--dry-run
For --import, only print what would have been done.
