Notes on article titles (and even on the author name) are a slightly
different case from notes on section titles. In LaTeX there is the
"\thanks" command, which inserts footnotes for title and author,
numbered with fnsymbol. For example:

...
\title{Lorem ipsum dolor\thanks{blah blah}}
...

Org does not have support for this type of notes in the #+title or
#+author keywords. For LaTeX you can use a macro. For backends like odt
it is trickier. Look at this thread:

I think it would be nice if Org had some kind of support for notes in
#+title and #+author...
