Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Welcome is a simple way to welcome new users based off maintainer defined comments.

The 3 plugins it combines with are new-issue-welcome(Comment to be posted to on first time issues) , new-pr-welcome(Comment to be posted to on PRs from first time contributors in your repository) and first-pr-merge(Comment to be posted to on pull requests merged by a first time user).

Describe the solution you'd like
We can setup Welcome bot by adding the GitHub App to our organization repositories and configuring .github/config.yml according to the content of the messages we want.

This will make the new contributors feel welcomed and at ease in interacting with the community.
