I don't see anything wrong on my end. I use mutt and 'list-reply' which
picks the list address. Some people use 'reply-all' which ends up adding
the list and your email address so you may get it twice in those cases?

My expectation is that discussions remain on the list, and anyone who
cares to follow it will be subscribed, so replying to the list is the
correct thing to do.
