Then make a wild guess.
Long ago when I was doing regression tracking I sometimes added a dozen
addresses from 3 different MAINTAINERS entry for one bug report for
getting emails to all involved parties.
Not sure whether Bugzilla is the right place for maintaining this
information, but even if it takes a few minutes to add it to
all regression reports when sending the emails it's in my experience
worth it.

There is a huge difference between offering information for maintainers
that are actively searching for it and regularly annoying maintainers
that there's a regression they have forgotten about they should fix...
