Add review process and expectations to contribution guidelines

[ahmasmibhanu]

This pull request adds a new section to CONTRIBUTING.md that clarifies the review process and contributor expectations.

The goal is to help first-time and returning contributors better understand:

• How pull requests are reviewed
• Why a suggestion might not be accepted
• When to open an issue before submitting a PR
• What to expect during the review process

This change does not alter any existing rules, but provides additional guidance to improve contributor experience and reduce uncertainty.

31-37: Excellent addition to the contribution guidelines!

This new section effectively sets clear expectations for contributors and should significantly improve the contributor experience by:

• Managing expectations around review timing (line 33)
• Providing transparency about potential rejection reasons (line 34)
• Encouraging proactive communication for unclear cases (line 35)
• Establishing a respectful and constructive review culture (line 36)

The writing is clear, professional, and well-structured. The content complements the existing guidelines without creating conflicts or unnecessary redundancy.

_{✏️ Tip: You can disable this entire section by setting review_details to false in your review settings.}
