I don't think this merits a new core type.

I would add it to the metadata as an array of two unsigned ints, which is how 
it's encoded in Imf::TimeCode.  You'd want something like this in exrinput.cpp:

        static TypeDesc TwoUints (TypeDesc::UINT, 2);
        Imf::TimeCode tc = ...;  // get the timecode from the EXR file
        spec.attribute ("openexr:TimeCode", TwoUints, &tc);

And then to extract it (including in exroutput.cpp):

        ImageIOParameter *f = spec.find_attribute ("openexr:TimeCode", 
TwoUints);
        if (f) {
            Imf::TimeCode tc = *(const ImfTimeCode *) f->data();
            ... do your thing with tc ...
        }
