New description:

 It is a GDPR requirement that users should be able to export their private
 data from one site and (eventually) import/reuse it at another.

 As discussed in
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C9695RJBW/p1519836137000439 Slack],
 this is the data the users entered themselves like name, email, nickname,
 etc. This is not automatically generated data about the user like ID, IP
 addresses, browser UA (for comments), etc.

 All of this data is already available/visible on the user's profile
 screen. It also has to be downloadable in a common format like JSON.
