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.
