I am interested! And I've read the guidelines posted in one of the replies,
but I'm also not sure how useful this might be for the community in general,
at the moment (considering the replies meanwhile). 
I have no doubt that if a rest api already exists and have a logic behind
each HTTP request, to make it actually do what is documented  is the minimum
one expects. Regarding databases, it could simply forbid operations but, at
the moment, it does half the job by updating only xml metadata files and
making geoserver incoherent with data itself (which, in consequence, makes
the layer not usable anymore).
As a workaround, as I control both frontend and backend, I was able to build
a separate piece of software to do these updates on database, on request
(alter and drop table, which were plain simple to make). What took a bit
more time to do was related to user authentication. Nothing of this would be
needed if put and delete behave properly on DB:)
