Thinking about this - I think it would be better to have this as an mu-plugin, restricting it's use on central via a site id check (or similar), rather than it being ambiguous as a plugin and potentially activated on other WordCamp (or Event) sites.
I'll leave some other feedback inline on the PR.

not sure of the purpose of the edit_posts check here - would that not be covered by edit privileges anyway?

I think we need a method for clearing this on successful save, in case we switch between statuses such as:
draft => pending
pending => draft
draft => pending
pending => publish

Many WordCamp organisers do have a contributor role on the WordCamp Central website. That means they can write a post, but not publish it. When they are to publish that post, it goes to pending review status.
The team has witnessed a few times that the author doesn't know/understand that no one in Central is looking at pending posts automatically. That results in posts not being published (non at the moment) or delayed.
To avoid these situations, send notification to Community Team when the post status is changed to pending.
