See the comments at the top here. :)

But, the short version is this, stated by Kirkburn:

"This is a method we're using to help us target surveys at more active users. It is nothing more than a way to tag users that are more active on Wikia than others and has no real meaning otherwise.

It's rather experimental (hence no special announcement), subject to change, and confers no special benefits. We might have more to say on this in the coming weeks, but it's really dependent on how well it works. I wouldn't put much stock in who is or isn't tagged right now."
