I already told you how to do that. You either have your email client
send a mail-followup-to header or you set your preference for the 
list to not send you a copy when your email address is listed in 
the recipient headers. For the latter go to: 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users 
And then enter your email addess by the "unsubscribe or edit options" 
button and then hit the button.

As was previously explained, not every message to mailing lists is 
sent by someone subscribed to the list. There are also reasons 
(latency is one, filter triggering is another) to want to get copies (or 
at least have recipient headers list your address explicitly) both through 
the list and directly.

Yes there is.
