I think the fact that some of them appear in CC might also matter.
Also note that cbiesinger@google.com appears twice in Reply-To.

The logic in Rmail for how to generate the To: and CC: headers is
complex and tries to support quite a few use cases. It never gave me
any trouble, in all the years that I'm using it. Changing it for this
single server would be unwise, IMO, because it will most probably
break much more important use cases.

That's just too bad. Thanks for trying.
Are you sure the Reply-To comes from Gerrit and not from the list
server?
