One possibility (Not tested) could be to place the new periodical in a folder with a matching opf-file, and then add the publication. Depending on how you add the publication, the metadata in the opf-file will be used. You would still have to edit the actual issue number.
It should be possible to even automate some of this using scripts that identify (from the name) what type of publication it is and select the right opf-file and copy it. The script could also add the book to a calibre library. For instance a small "incoming" library where you then add the correct issue number and move the publication to the real calibre library.
Depending on how the publications are named it could even be possible to add the publication with complete metadata fully automatically.
However, the effort to make this work most likely exceed a few years of manually fixing the metadata, unless we talk about a lot of publications.
Edit: Almost what itimpi said... :X
