You could certainly write your own `message-wide-reply-to-function', but
looking at all the checks and alterations that go on in
`message-get-reply-headers', you'd pretty much need to copy and paste
the whole body of that function, and then change just the end.

Another option is the function `message-reduce-to-to-cc', which nearly
does what you want: it *replaces* the contents of To with the contents
of Cc, instead of concatenating them. It would be a one- or two-line
change to that function to make it do what you want, though. Then you'd
have to call it explicitly.
