Are you aware of align vim plugin
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=294)? This has tons
of options and you might find something in there that matches what you
need.

I came close with,
:AlignCtrl lr
:Align #

This converted the text to:
set attribution = "* %n wrote on %D:" # Date in ISO 8601 format
set include = yes # Include original message in reply
set indent_string = "> " # Use `>' as quote character
set nomarkers # Don't add marker to wrapped lines

Comments are right aligned (as in your desired output) and (but..) the
'#' is also aligned (maybe you want that too?). You can also check the
alignment maps specifically meant for comments.. (\adcom etc).

Also check the other justification tools mentioned in the description
page (I haven't used any of these):

> Note: this plugin is not a left&right margin justification tool! See vimscript#177, vimscript#2324, or vimscript#3728 for that.

An alternate align tool is also mentioned in the plugin page.
