It is not redundant -- including a person in the CC list brings the mail 
to their attention faster (and with less chances of missing it) than if 
they have to pick it out of the list.

Though it seems that sometimes I don't get a copy delivered directly to 
me, but only the list e-mail -- even though I'm in the CC.  I think this 
happens when the mail is sent from someone @denx.de, so the server 
discards the duplicate, defeating the whole point of CCing a particular 
person.

How about reconfiguring the list software instead?
