Hello,
a friend point me to [1] asking if there's a way to add a title to
legend without applying this patch. Well, my answer was "not that I
know of" then I start wondering if there's a reason this patch was not
applied and there's a plan to do it anytime soon.

Thanks for considering,

Jae Joon -- will you review this and apply it if it looks like a good
addition to you
Thanks,

[1] [Matplotlib-users] titles for legends
John and Sandro,
I just had a quick look at the patch. The patch is for older version
of the mpl, and I couldn't test it yet. Anyhow, it should be straight
forward to port it to the new legend class. I'll work on it.
Meanwhile, below is a little code one may use to put the legend title
w/o modifying the mpl.
-JJ
plot([1,2,3])
plot([2,1,3])
legend(["test", "test2"])
fig = gcf()
ax = gca()
from matplotlib.offsetbox import TextArea, VPacker
mylegend=ax.get_legend()
legendtitle=TextArea( "Legend Title", textprops=dict(size=20))
mylegend._legend_box = VPacker(pad=5,
sep=0,
children=[legendtitle, mylegend._legend_box],
align="center")
mylegend._legend_box.set_figure(fig)
draw()

I just committed the support of the legend title into the trunk.
See the legend_demo3.py.
