In English, we use something called the "future tense." "Does anyone help me?" Is a present tense question... the appropriate question would be "Will anyone help me?" :)

For a contribution to the Linux kernel, I believe that you have to email the patch to whatever developer is in control of that part of the kernel for whatever feature you'd like. Only catch: It's gotta be against the _latest_ kernel. They won't patch older versions for you ;).
The person who would release the kernel is officially supposed to be Linus Torvalds, but I get a feeling that what he'll do is release it and someone else does the linux-kernel-announce official release bulletin.
