(Forgive me, I don't have UDOIT running. Please delete/ignore this if aMustHaveTitle is already disabled) There doesn't seem to be a basis for the aMustHaveTitle accessibility test. Screen readers ignore the title attribute on links by default, for example.
It's been requested to be removed from the quail library UDOIT uses, but development on quail has ceased for a long time now, so the issue is still open: quailjs/quail#363

W3C HTML5 recommends against using the title attribute:
