Note, that the section name in ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf is a *GLOB*. So if
you always call foo branches foo.<something> and bar branches
bar.<something>, you simply set the emails as:

[*/foo.*]
email = me at foo.org
[*/bar.*]
email = me at bar.org

Of course, adapt to your naming convention.

Note that the patterns are currently rather simplistic (* matches
absolutely anything) and that it might be changed to behave more
shell-like (* not matching / and initial . - **/ will then match any
path).
