Updated code review timeline
The current welcome message for new contributors mentions that it usually
takes 3 to 7 days for the code to be reviewed. But the code also needs
approval from the core member(s) for the merge to happen. It generally
takes at least 2 weeks for core to review the changes as they are busy
with other high priority things. For a newbie it is not very clear on
how long the patch will take to get reviewed and merged. Hence added
more text related to this.
