And you're right, no, the series name and index are not displayed at all.

AFAIK, Kobo uses the dc:creator field for the author. In epub2, with multiple authors, you can see:

    <dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Flint, Eric &amp; Freer, Dave &amp; Lackey, Mercedes">Eric Flint</dc:creator>
    <dc:creator opf:role="aut">Dave Freer</dc:creator>
    <dc:creator opf:role="aut">Mercedes Lackey</dc:creator>

However, I'm not sure if that will show all the authors on a Kobo.
