docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md

Better reflect the thoughts in #1228

I feel bad for people submitting PRs for new pickers only to pretty much be insta-closed.

[Conni2461]

I dont know about these changes. I dont completely agree with whats written here!
Also why was this self merged without feedback from other contributors within minutes?

[jamestrew]

Sorry Conni we can revert this or tweak it should you want to. This hasn't been updated in something like 3 years (except syntax/grammar) and 2 years since the "move out all builtins" discussion started. I felt at the very least it was more accurate than what we already have.

Regarding self-merges, honestly I don't wish to self-merge anything but if I'm being honest, timely feedback is not always reliably there I'm sorry to say. And this is completely understandable considering we're all just volunteering our spare time.

I'm just trying to find the balance between keeping things moving for the sake of the project but also my own motivation level while still respecting the feedback process.

What do have any thoughts how to find this balance?

updating this wasnt wrong.

we should take this private but i live in the eu and this was merged within minutes while i was asleep so idk. So yeah we are currently the only 2 ppl left who more or less actively work here, so i suggest we have a little chat, sometime soon, because i am aware that i am not as active as i should be especially on pings. does that work for you?

sounds good 👍
