Actually, I think series name and index aren't standard epub metadata, but are inserted by calibre for library indexing purposes.

AFAIK, none of the distributors we use are able to pull metadata out of the ebook. We have to submit an excel file or ONIX file containing essentially the same information along with the book. That said, we still include a fairly complete set of metadata (e.g. author, contributors, subjects, source, description, etc.) in addition to the required fields. So it's there if anyone wants to look.
