One way to do this is by setting up a metadata plugboard for any format when the KOBOTOUCH device driver is in use. The best way to do it will depend on whether you're already using other metadata plugboard(s) for KOBOTOUCH. At its simplest:

Calibre Prefs > Metadata plugboards > Add new plugboard

Then fill in 4 columns:
Format: any format
Device: KOBOTOUCH
Source template: program: raw_list('authors', ', ')
Destination field: Authors
Press [Save plugboard] button
Press [Apply] button

You may need to Restart calibre afterwards, but next time you connect the Kobo to calibre all the Author data in the Kobo database should auto-magically be adjusted according to the new KOBOTOUCH/Authors plugboard.
