No, I get that out of the box on a clean system, so I think you should
see it too. (Along with OrgTitlePage, which is the style I actually used
for testing, and OrgFrontMatter.)

When modifying a style template for ODT export, the manual strongly
recommends starting from an ODT document that you have already exported
from Org, so it includes the styles provided by the exporter. Are you
sure that's what you did?

That's what I get, so I don't know why your case differs. I don't
suppose you have turned off inclusion of author information? Please
check your export options, and what you find when you look at
File > Properties in LibreOffice.

Haven't tested.

Yes, this is a little more tricky than I thought.

Try this: 

Insert > Fields > Other > Tab:DocInformation > Type:Created, Select:Date

If you can't get the Author field to work the way I suggested, perhaps
the same recipe with Select:Author will help.

I'll need to get back to you on that.
