It wouldn't help at all. The problem isn't with mayors, it's with whispers being one-sided for the town.

For example, a spy can do a day 1 'spy test' to immediately prove himself, and get spammed with the same whispered information.

A jailor can say 'I'm jailor, proving it by jailing (X)' and then confirm it the next morning with whoever he jails.

A retributionist can revive the first person killed, who is then 100% trustworthy for the day.

A veteran can put his name in his deathnote, and become completely trusted the next day.

In all of these cases, they can get spammed with whispers and if there is a protection role out there, there's very little the mafia can do about it. Because of that, it's something about the whispering system that needs to get changed. Either by giving the mafia a weapon against it, or by nerfing it slightly in some other way.

The only other thing I can think that might help is slightly more variable role lists. Keep the averages the same, but have small chances that there would be three investigators and one support, or three protectors and two supports. Things like that, just to keep them guessing.
