I’m curious how CBI knows from where to get a source tree for a particular repository. I assumed it would get the map file from a particular branch and that would tell it what commit to grab. But in webtools.maps, I see no R3_6_maintenance, or even R3_6_1. So now I wonder from where CBI has been getting source for 3.6.1. What am I missing here?

CBI doesn't use map files. Instead it uses a composite Git repository: https://git.eclipse.org/c/webtools/webtools.releng.aggregator.git with submodules. With submodules, you can reference specific commits or branches for any other Git repo, so you have similar control as what you have with map files.
