IMO, it just shouldn't set title in LaTeX. When I use author:nil
\author{·} is simply not set and could be loaded via another file. I
would also remove the \maketitle command. I don't have any
particularly good argument for this, other than it feels right. . .
Alternatively, there could be a yet another option maketitle:if-title,
maketitle:always. . .
With the text backend. I would make the banner dependent on the
presence of a title. I.e. I'd probably go for no title, no banner.
Though it's less clear here to what extend a title-less banner makes
sense here.
