Note that the (many) changes proposed for Calc are almost all about
labeling and sectioning; but they do impact potential additions/removals
of commands.
Also, Impress and Draw may also some changes in the same vein. IMNSHO.

Welcome Trey!
The Notebookbars are XML files [0], editable per Glade or text editor.
If you take a look at the latest changes you figure out quickly what to do.
But please keep in mind that modifications to the UI are always annoying
to users and we must not do more than necessary. Every patch should have
a transparent reasoning on a non-technical platform, ie. Bugzilla. We
organize topics in META tickets, and [1] is about the Tabbed UI with [2]
specifically about the latest changes in Calc being discussed in the
design meeting (this week on Thursday [3]). You are very welcome to
participate.
You may also join the design chat, we have the major platforms [4]
bridged together.
Cheers,
Heiko

I'd like to know where I can get involved for improving the ribbon user
interface, specifically finding better places to put the actions from the
overflow menu on the right into the actual ribbon. I have a good
understanding of code in general which would be useful if the layout is
encoded in XML, but I'm pretty new to C++
