There are some rules of this kind in the default john.conf.  They're
specified for "single crack" mode only, but there's nothing to stop you
from copying them into the wordlist rules section if you like.  Also,
the rules can be extended with more common substitutions.

What's your "question" on this, though?

If you don't know what this is, then you most likely don't need it.
However, you may read up on AFS here:

(and follow the links).

I'm not sure what exactly you're asking for.  Are you fully capable of
enhancing John to do whatever you need (so you already have the modified
source code and it works fine) and just need to create a patch file
according to the current conventions in order for the patch to be
suitable for placement in the contrib/ directory?

Please explain what kind of a patch you wanted to contribute (adding
what functionality?), what you already have, and what relevant skills
you have (C programming, etc.)  Then I and others might be able to
suggest something.

Thanks,
