doc: CONTRIBUTE: tell people reviewing *is* contributing
We are "a bit" struggling with reviewing things and it's most of the
time maintainers or long time contributors reviewing patches on the
mailing list.
Hint that reviewing is also contributing to the project and that even if
you don't feel you're an expert, your review is still welcome and can
help us catch bugs before they are merged.
