Bingo!

This causes the notice to be sent. This particular notice is sent to
both the owners and the moderators. You are listed twice - you get it
twice.

Some (very few, I don't remember which offhand) notices are sent to
owner only. Most are sent to owner and moderator. None are sent to
moderator only. Thus it makes no sense to list an address as both
owner and moderator and only results in duplicate notices.
