Given that opening calibre's tag browser has an Authors item which when you click on the down arrow shows a list of all authors in it's database, it's hard to argue that another program would give you an easier interface. And what do you do about the mass of authors where male/female/whatever is not immediately apparent from the name -- is S. W. Clarke male or female? Was Andre Norton male or female?

Hmmm... metadata download will cover most of your author, title, series, year of publication, tags, etc. Author's year of birth, etc. would call for a custom column. For information on custom columns, see the calibre FAQs for
Why doesn't calibre have a column for foo?, the
calibre custom columns entry in the calibre blog, etc. Repeat the custom columns for other columns you want that calibre does not support out of the box.
I'm not sure what you mean by extension? epub? azw3? That is already covered by formats.
As for dimension? Are you putting paper books in your library with the paperback/trade paperback or hardcover? Otherwise unless you have an pdf or other fixed format file, that might be worthwhile but since most of my ebooks are reflowable, dimension is a rather meaningless concept?
