as contributing.md is currently directly linked from "How to contribute" at the qwant.com/maps sidebar, it is an entry point for users to look for a FAQ on the question when edits are going to reflected in the qwant map rendering and search.
The map itself and most of the details about points of interest are updated on a daily basis. For addresses located in France, Qwant Maps relies on BANO.. [that are] typically [updated] once a month
Technical explanations to data sources and update methods are given in readme.md#data. Adding the expected delay to contributing.md after "Improving the map" per data class and per country if relevant would help users to set expectations and give orientation, even directly linking to source, example:
"When you can find your newly added point of interest in Nominatim and is not filtered, expect it to appear in x days."
