I'd just add that I'm totally and utterly uninterested in what my "title" is, on my own forum we use the Staff title hack to add a functional role title because it's useful for the members of the forum. (My title on my forum is "Lackey" because that is what I am! A lackey for the owners of the forum and for the members.)

However I appreciate that some people like titles because they are proud of what they have contributed and like to display that. But if you want titles for that reason why not use the Awards hack? That way they can be more meaningful, so someone who has had one of their hacks win "Mod of the Month" gets a badge for that, if they have released say 10 mods and had a hundred installs they get a gold coding award and so on?

In fact it could be a way to foster more community feel - what about if there was a vote for "best supported mod?" every so often, that way people would get a reward for not only releasing hacks but for the effort they've put in to really help people use their hacks?
