I found out what happened to cause this. Fact is that the quest "help citizen of the Rift" never appears. You have to do the skooma dealer quest, and do some quests to help the people then. About 2 or 3 quests should do. I did the "promisses to keep", and the quest of the Dibella markings. After you complete the quests, one miscelaneous quest like "speak to the Jarl of Riften" will appear. Then you will have to option to become thane. Actually, its not a bug, its the same thing, but the difference is that the "quest" to help citizens dont show up. Hope this helps.
