Many agree with you; check the archives for a recent discussion.  You
can make Gnus stop adding Sender like this:
(add-to-list 'message-syntax-checks '(sender . disabled))

You can express that via the Mail-Followup-To field so that MUAs can
automatically remove you from the recipient list for followups.

If your Gnus has the message-subscribed-address-functions variable,
you can make it add MFT automatically:
(setq message-subscribed-address-functions '(gnus-find-subscribed-addresses))
(add-to-list gnus-parameters '("ding" (subscribed . t)))
