I created my own field for the subject and spend a few minutes populating it when I import books. When I initially created the field, I had about 2000 books and it took me a week or so. I'd filter my library by no subject and enter them until the list was empty.

Thanks. Really invaluable information that I don't know where I would have ever found otherwise.
Knowing information about the subject of an ebook would be greatest at the time of purchase. So, after I set up Calibre, it seems like the best thing to do is to immediately after purchase of an ebook, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, import the ebook into Calibre. Then, enter the subject information into the field.
