The experience with twitodon.com is very clunky. Since people seem to be putting their mastodon tags in their Twitter "name" fields now it seems like it'd be a much more streamlined process to just scrape that.

That's the approach tools like Fedi Finder have been using: scraping handles out of Twitter display names and Bios.
