 All registered users can edit or delete most of their data in WordPress
 like name, nickname, email, site, etc. The only exception is they cannot
 delete or anonymize their own account.

 Generally a registered user can contact an admin and request this, but it
 would be better to have a standard "procedure" to do that. It will need to
 be confirmed to avoid misuse.

 A good way to do that would be to have a simple button on the user profile
 screen where the user can request anonymization. Clicking it will email
 the user a confirmation link, similar to the password reset link. When
 clicked, it will load wp-admin again and will send email to the site
 admin.
