No, it doesn't. I guess it should.
I think it could also link to
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
That faq mostly covers the same things as the 'welcome to this
list' email, but it is more verbose. (This verbosity might be a
drawback: what is the chance of somebody reading a long text like that
after sending a two-line question?)
And while we are at it, I think that 'welcome to this list' email should be
linked from the list's description page at
http://python.org/psa/MailingLists.html#tutor
(and maybe at http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor).
