It's a table of a set of strings:

scripts/base/utils/site.bro:    const local_admins: table[subnet] of set[string] = {} &redef;

$ git grep redef.*local_admins
testing/btest/scripts/base/utils/site.test:redef Site::local_admins += {
$ cat testing/btest/scripts/base/utils/site.test
# @TEST-EXEC: bro %INPUT > output
# @TEST-EXEC: btest-diff output

# This is loaded by default.
#@load base/utils/site

global a = { "site-admin at example.com", "other-site-admin at example.com" };
global b = { "net-admin at example.com" };

redef Site::local_admins += {
    [141.142.0.0/16] = a,
    [141.142.100.0/24] = b,
};

event bro_init()
    {
    print Site::get_emails(141.142.1.1);
    print Site::get_emails(141.142.100.100);
    }
$
