Because it's a decision of the mail sender (read: you and me) if he
wants a private copy (additionally to the public one over the
mailinglist).

Not possible - see above.
The only thing the ML manager can do is: Look at the recipients (in the
To: and Cc: line) and suppress the copy to you over the ML if the email
address is already found there.
The only drawback is: You then get ML emails partly directly and partly
over the ML. Since ML tend to add headers (e.g. list-help,
list-unsubscribe, List-Post and List-Id), this may brake mail filter
rules at the receivers end.
Mailman has a user-specific option for this, I don't know about ezmlm.
