I use it myself - I'm not sure what 'your' point is....
When you post to the list you, along with the other subscribers, are
sent a copy. So the "problem" (and I'm not convinced there is one) is
with gmail, not Debian. And there's nothing Debian can do about your
choice of MUA or smtp provider.
I note that many (*cough*BP,PE*cough*) will recommend you *don't* use
gmail (I simply recommend you use a fine MUA like Icedove, Mutt,
Evolution, Kmail etc with the mail server of your choice).
You can try lobbying Google, but if you understand the distributed
nature of the their system you'll appreciate their desire to avoid the
additional costs involved in allowing your (common) request.
Don't expect gmail to change that policy of not forwarding email to your
Inbox that have identical subject lines and body contents to emails
you've sent.

Noted I'll add documentation for gmx to the wiki on the weekend (time
permitting).

Interesting.
I'm not sure what those "statistics" mean. Are they all webmailers?
Do they only represent mail sent from the webmail interface?
What are the majority of posters using (the missing numbers), and what
is the new/email split?
Do those figures allow for gateways (ie. google groups, new generation,
gmane, and others)?
Thanks for taking the time to post in plain text.
Cheers
