I don't have time to look at this, so I will toss out one idea for consideration: If there is any chance that other sorts of kwarg collections might be needed, or simply to improve readability and explicitness, instead of passing on **kwargs, you might make a new kwarg, "savefigkw", which would take a dictionary that would then be used via "savefig(..., **savefigkw".
