Here is what I use to process messages that are sent to me without being sent to the mailing list:

    (to:gitster@pobox.com -(to:git@vger.kernel.org))

The rule is set to skip the inbox and throw it in dustbin ;-).

I'd imagine something like

    (-(to:hongyi.zhao@gmail.com) (to:git@vger.kernel.org))

would hit what you want to filter out. Let me swap To/Cc of this message so that you would appear on Cc so that you can experiment; I think to: would work for such a message just fine as well.
