By reading their docstring: it describes what it should do.

Try uncomment-region or comment-kill or auto-fill-mode or ...
with various kinds of comments.

That looks OK.  You'll probably need to set comment-end-skip as well:

(set (make-local-variable 'comment-end-skip) "[ \t]*\\(\\s>\\|\\*+/\\)")
