 Per this Slack discussion:

 In order for the new GDPR features to truly work "out of the box" (per
 WordPress Philosophy standards), and to not force users to find their own
 options ("Decisions not Options") it would be best if WordPress Core
 provided at least a simple name/email frontend form for users of a website
 to create their "Right to Access" and "Right to be Forgotten" requests
 that would populate the admin entries for those tools.

 I understand how that might seem like form-plugin territory, but without
 it, these new tools are so limited as to not be useful.

 Naturally, the output of these shortcodes/widgets/blocks can have filters
 so form plugins can hook into them to customize the forms further than the
 default, but the bare minimum would simply be one form for "Right to
 Access" and one form for "Right to be Forgotten" that simply has an email
 address field (no other fields are truly necessary since the confirmation
 emails would be sent automatically, and no action would happen until
 confirmed).
