Read contributors metadata from ePub file contents

I have defined a couple of custom columns in my library (#translators and #illustrators) to store information about this kind of contributors.

How can I get calibre to parse this information when adding new books to my library? (If it can be done later, it's fine with me too.)

Specifically, I have ePub ebooks with the following metadata entries in their content.opf file:
Code:
<dc:contributor opf:file-as="Villarino, M. I." opf:role="trl">M. I. Villarino</dc:contributor>
Code:
<dc:contributor opf:file-as="Pickard, Charles" opf:role="ill">Charles Pickard</dc:contributor>
The former is translators info and the latter corresponds to illustrators info. Therefore, the information I want is there, in my ebook files. I just don’t know how to get it automatically into calibre.
