Er, rather I'm picking off low-hanging fruit.  I'll look at the rest of
the diff now that it's in easy-to-read format (I trust you intend to
move the code back into kill-ring.el, BTW, since it seems like a good
idea, aside from making the patch hard to read).

...or your MUA can discard duplicates.  This is not hard, and is clearly
the right `technical solution.'

If you put the following header in your messages, then some MUAs (at
least Gnus, and probably others) will do this automatically:

Mail-Copies-To: never

I suppose a cute hack would be to have the mailing list software
automatically insert such a header into message from people it knows to
be on the list (but maybe that would cause other problems, I don't
know).
