Do you have any advice what I can do?
Don't take this the wrong way, but you should perhaps start considering a
plan b. Community contributed extensions often take months before getting
deployed. While that's not always the case, it is the likely case.
You should also probably work on getting approval from the wikidata
community. Its unlikely the extension will be deployed unless there is
agreement at wikidata that the extension is wanted. (From what I've seen
you left a comment on the vp to which no one responded to. That is not
usually sufficient. Usually you have to get a bunch of people to actively
support you)
Best of luck,

Lukas, I have to regretfully agree with Brian. Please do consider
alternative means to test the feedback mechanisms in your project; it is
unlikely that, within the next 2-3 weeks, you will be able to get
through the multiple rounds of revision needed to meet design and
technical deployment standards. If you set up a test wiki with this
functionality then we can ask people to try it out, to ensure you get
data from a few dozen people. You won't be the first researcher who had
to change the proposed experimental method for pragmatic reasons. :/
