If both you and one of your teams with a mailing list are subscribed to
something you get two or more e-mails for each action done. Here's a
simple way to reproduce:
1. Set the contact address of your team to your ML
2. Subscribe the team to the bugs for a project
3. Subscribe yourself to the bugs for the same project
What happens? When somebody reports a bug you get two mails with the
same message.
If you play with code reviews, review teams and branch subscribers you
can get up till two duplicates.

I don't know how mailing lists work on Launchpad, but I can imagine that
it wouldn't be simple to fix this. My propose is to check the Message-Id
header in the mail so that the SMTP won't send more than one message
with the same ID to a person.
