I don't get two emails in gmail, I don't know that the list is smart enough to not send emails those who are to or cc'ed, or maybe it's a gmail feature.
That's a gmail (mis)feature. If you receive an email twice, it is collapsed into one. A benefit of being addressed in the email that hasn't been mentioned yet, is that some people use that for email filtering, marking higher emails that are set to them. It is popular for instance among developers of linux kernel, where they don't usually read the very active list (lkml), so you are requested to email the list *and* CC the people that is likely to be interested in that field. Even though those people are subscribed to the list, they are not reading all of it.
