Why it is allowed for developers to
overrule community consensus? If
German Wikisource has the opinion that IPs should be
allowed to change
the proofread status in the "PR2" system then this should
be made
possible.

I cannot see any Wikimedia Foundation rule that accepts
serious
changes by developers without reaching consensus in the
relevant
community.
You write as if ThomasV is not a Wikisource editor nor a member of any Wikisource
community, but rather and outside developer. This is inaccurate.
I don't understand why de.WS would be prevented from customizing the extension to do
things as they wish. But de.WS consensus should not be used to justify an alteration to
all Wikisource wikis. If ThomasV is uninterested in making the modification de.WS
requests, then de.WS must find another developer. This is how opensource works.
