I have two things that I would like to contribute to emacs. One is a 
function for formatting comment blocks in any programming language. The 
other is a revision of files.el to make auto-save-file-name-transforms 
work for backup files in the same way that it now works for auto-save 
files. What would be the appropriate means for me to contribute these 
(if at all)?

Contributions are very welcome. See the file etc/CONTRIBUTE for details.
If not in your version of Emacs, you can read it at

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/etc/CONTRIBUTE?root=emacs&view=markup

Please ask if something is unclear.
Please create a separate thread/bug for each of your suggestions.
Thanks!
