In my opinion, multi-label classification should definitely be added
to the mid-term todo list for scikit-learn. We will have to discuss
what are the implications in terms of API. For example, in fit, we
could pass Y as as 2d sparse matrix. Prediction will be more
problematic... In the mean time, you need to implement multi-label
classification by yourself. To do that, you need to use methods like
predict_proba or decision_function which gives you a score for each
class. We are in the process of unifying score methods in a new method
which will be called predict_scores.

No the mailing-list is for both user and developer discussion. For
strictly ML question which do not directly concern scikit-learn, I'd
recommend to post on Metaoptimize though.
