Just use the "Reply all" functionality of your email client. I would be
surprised if Gmail couldn't do this.
Recipients can elect to deduplicate the mail either on their local mail
system or on the list server itself (by setting the "Avoid duplicate
copies of messages?" option in their list preferences).
Mailman-based lists default to keeping the sender's From and Reply-to
headers intact. Some of the reasons are described at:

It's not mentioned there, but one thing I find nice about lists
implementing this policy is that in many cases it allows me to post to the
list, and get replies, without needing to be subscribed. This is handy for
those times when you only have a one-off question.
