IMO, the foundation could look to strengthen its global policies regarding content where living people are a subject. i.e. worded more like the non-free content resolution. Then the projects _need_ to find appropriate solutions to conform to the WMF requirements, and tools like pending changes will be used if they help achieve compliance with the WMF policy.
You've seen the BLP resolution?

This has inspired lots of cross-language work on BLP policies, and is referenced in many of them. It specifically asks for "investigating new technical mechanisms to assess edits, particularly when they affect living people, and to better enable readers to report problems". -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation
