My 2 cents guys: We just need to make the Champions informed of what it means to have "Champion-ness" :-)
I've Championed 2 proposals so far: Gora Any23 I just started a thread for Gora on graduating (based on Lewis John McGibbney's original thread) and I pay attention to Gora and care about its success. Same goes for Any23. I'm working to get their code brought into the ASF hardware from Googlecode, and working to keep them progressing along. I'm not perfect as a Champion but I know that in my mind it means more than "mentoring". That's not to say I ignore the projects I mentor that I'm not a Champion on. It just means that I know that the ones I'm a Champion on deserve a little extra of my time. Regarding make new role names, creating Podling chairs, etc., I think that's just reframing the existing role we already have because in my mind, that's what a Champion already is.
