Flaggedrevs had been designed with Wikipedia in mind. Writing an encyclopedy article is about confronting multiple points of view. During this process, the quality of an article might not always improve; the purpose of Flaggedrevs is to flag some revisions as "non draft", while still allowing users to modify the article.
I do not think that this would be useful for Wikisource. A decrease of quality on a wikisource article can be agreed upon in a much more objective way. Introducing flaggedrevs will likely result on confusion and useless complexity.
(I am not even sure if Flaggedrevs will solve the problems faced by wikipedia; once the community know what it really is about, they might realize technology does not replace expertise...)

(sorry for my English and for the crossposting)
I known that the FlaggedRevs extension is under a review stage and their development is devoted basically to the needs from the most known Wikimedia project. This is ok to me, no worries on it. But since more Wikimedia projects have users watching the development of this feature, I think that only two future official wikis for the public beta testing is insufficient.
Wikisource, for example, have LabeledSectionTransclusion and ProofreadPage enabled on all of yours wikis. These extensions may have issues to work appropriately with FlaggedRevs. Enabling these two extensions at the same wiki devoted to the English Wikipedia beta-testing may generate some troubles with the en.wp users that don't known how and why Wikisource have these extensions, to exemplify with only one of the possible reactions. Not enabling these two extensions + FlaggedRevs at someplace may create false hopes. And I think that knowing that issues and waiting for someone with the required skills to fix them when get time to work on it is more proper instead of a community (a Wikisource wiki) gaining consensus to request FlaggedRevs getting enabled and finding that a new nice feature brokes another one.
