Do I understand correctly that the maintainer is detected by searching
the local copy of Emacs, and not the always up-to-date remote version?

I'm not sure this makes a difference in practice, but a possible
alternative approach is to define two packages in the bug report.  For
example:

   Package: emacs,emacs-eglot

Then if the file "/etc/debbugs/Maintainers" on fencepost has a line
"emacs-eglot    joaotavora@gmail.com", debbugs will CC João as well.

This approach might be more complicated than yours, but would possibly
work with outdated working copies as well.  Or might not work at all.
I've come up with it based on the file emacs/admin/notes/bugtracker, and
this: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/doc/debbugs-ug.html
