They definitely were CC'd to you Junio.

One thing that people need to be careful about is which SMTP
server they use.  I had an impression (I do not use send-email
myself) that it defaulted to local MTA, so the mail trail would
look like your local MTA receives from the MUA (which is
send-email), which forwards it to whereever destination (or
intermediaries).  On the other hand, I suspect many people use
their ISP's SMTP server when using their usual MUA, so the mail
trail would look different.  I do not know what filtering vger
does, but if it is filtering based on the MTA address
(dul.dnsbl.sorbs filtering comes to mind), that would make a
difference.

No, it's not SMTP path differences.

I _know_ that my mail path is identical for git-send-email as well as my
MUA, because I had problems with GIT and whitespace in email addresses
initially ;-).

Since I have access to all the mail servers in my path (home -> AUTH
SMTP @ work -> wherever), I dug at the logs, and found that vger did
indeed accept my email to the list, but the messages never turned up on
the list.

The only weirdness I saw in that, is that the envelope sender did not
appear to be set correct from git-send-email. Give me a moment to
explore down that path.
