It seems the linaro-dev list isn't configed to avoid mailing folks who are already recipients of the email. So if you're on linaro-dev and you're also To/CC'ed in the email, you get it twice (three times if your other work email was CC'ed as well, but that cannot be helped).
Someone else already told you about your personal mailing-list settings to avoid multiple copies of messages; I wanted to add that the default config on linaro-dev@ has always been for copies to be discarded by default.
You might be getting copies from other lists though (e.g. I get bug updates from launchpad and from launchpad team mailing-lists), which you can confirm by looking at the List-Id header or at the Received headers. The big hammer is filtering copies out yourself as others have suggested (procmail's formail -D is one example).
I know this is controversial, but I really like that pattern. It ensures that I filter messages that are directly to me specially, while the rest just goes into a lower priority archive folder.
(same here; mailing-list traffic is kept in folders and mail directed to me in a different one)
