The spec says that an epub file needs to have a title, author and language specified. But Sigil cannot just make these up. If the book you imported doesn't have some of these elements, then it won't have them in Sigil either. If you don't use the Meta Editor (in Sigil) to add this missing information, then on export, some of these elements will still be missing.
Do you really want your editor to "guess" at your book's title, author and language? This is one of the things you have to make sure you include yourself.
What Sigil can do (and will, in time) is warn you that you failed to specify this information. But that's as far as it can go.
