There more than a 150 user developed calibre plugins available from this site alone, at a guess they would collectively add 250-300 features. I doubt calibre would have a 1/10 as many active users without them.

There are User Interaction (GUI) plugins that extract data from format files and drop it into standard and custom columns, some do it on demand (Extract ISBN and Count Pages), and I think there are some File Type plugins that do it when a book is added. I suspect you could run an Extract Contributors GUI plugin when a book is added via the Action Chains plugin - then you'd have the best of both worlds.
