Thanks for that.
You should probably ask for a Herald rule to be setup as it can
automate parts of this.

Everyone will continue to receive duplicates where they are subscribed
to a mailing list which receives review mail and have been subscribed
(either by being the named reviewer or explicitly subscribed) for a
repository's reviews. This cannot be avoided i'm afraid (Phabricator
has no idea who is subscribed to a given list).
