Thank you everyone for your responses.

For now, it’s out of my reach to modify a calibre plugin, but some day I will try to learn how to do it. If un_pogaz wants to take that path first, I won’t complain.

And what about theducks approach? Could it be possible to map these metadata entries to the built-in Authors field the way he does it when adding books to a library? This way, it would be just a matter of performing a Search & Replace operation in bulk metadata edition later on to get this information copied into custom columns.

Aren’t these dc:contributor standard metadata entries? I remember having seen them also in PDF documents in the past.
