If you decide to try it please leave any comments in this thread. I'll use any feedback (or lack thereof) to decide whether to include it in the standard kobopatch pack for future firmwares.

Copy into your copy of nickel.yaml (or wherever you normally store your customised nickel.yaml patches).

Spoiler:

beta Customise Authors List and Collections List names:
  - Enabled: no
  - Description: Change font style of MyBooks Authors/Collections names
  
  # Part 1: Authors List name
  - FindZlib: "AuthorsListWidget" # qss/AuthorsListWidget.qss
  - ReplaceZlibGroup:
      Replacements:
        # #hTitle Author name label to non-italic
        - Find:    "#hTitle {\n  qproperty-maxNumLines: 1;\n}"
          Replace: "#hTitle {\n  qproperty-maxNumLines:1; font-style:normal;\n}"
  
  # Part 2: Collections List name
  - FindZlib: "GenericListWidget" # qss/GenericListWidget.qss
  - ReplaceZlibGroup:
      Replacements:
        # #hTitle Collection name label to non-italic
        - Find:    "#hTitle {\n  qproperty-maxNumLines: 1;\n}"
          Replace: "#hTitle {\n  qproperty-maxNumLines:1; font-style:normal;\n}"

Thanks for this - the italics in the menus have been bothering me for a while. I just installed it, and it looks great.
