I do not want to edit book description to reassign the author, I would prefer to keep each book under the original pen name. But on Author filter (Alt+A) and adding new book I would like for Calibre to recognize known pen names and act accordingly.

The JobSpy plugin has a tool for dealing with pseudonyms, see ==>>
Index of plugins.
I generally put the authors real name in the Authors column (e.g. Joanna Rowling) and the pseudonyms (J.K. Rowling, Robert Galbraith) in a custom column that is in a search group with Authors.
That's very similar to what theducks does - I think
