I'm not sure what problems do you have with it.

Just add text objects with contents you want in your schematic.
Or make a new title page containing all that info and place it
into your project's symbol directory, then define default
titleblock in your project's gschemrc, use something like
  (define default-titleblock "my-new-title.sym")
and all new project pages will use it when created.

There is no specific way to fill in this information, you could just use regular text objects.

If you prefer a more semantic approach, you can select the titleblock (if it's locked, you can select it via "T L" in the latest development version of gschem), add attributes "Title=My title" etc. (via "E E"), and set them to show-value and the desired size (via "T V" and "E X").

It may be convenient to create a custom titleblock which already contains these attributes, like Vladimir said. I personally prefer using a titleblock with pre-defined attributes and without a page boundary, so I can simply draw a box to fit the page contents.

Here's an example of how such a titleblock may look like:

Can you help with this problem?
