I'll leave others to respond about how to modify the ribbon, However, the particular changes you want for the Brainstorming menu are created by an addon, so I don't think it will be possible. Even if you can create the changes required the addon won't be loaded so the ribbon entries won't work.

Nothing wrong with your English (unless pernicious pedantry pervades!).

But those options are only within the brainstorming addon. Some of those features are also within Visio itself, but might just be hard (or impossible) to find on the ribbon.
