Comment (by dejliglama):

 An update on where we're headed in a test setup internally.

 ----

 **Step 1**

 Pseudo coding a bit here :

 Log_function (email, action, status);
 //3 strings are required, e-mail being a unique identifyer, action is the
 hook that has been run, and status is a string detailing the intend and
 status of the action (remove, delete, revoke, failed, deleted...  and so
 on).

 The email is hashed into a key - this makes the log entry anonymized
 A date for the entry is also stored.

  -----

 **Step 2**

 Fetch_log_Function (hash, date-range);
 The function takes a hashed value (so an e-mail, that is hashed, so that
 we can match it in the log).
 Date start and Date end.

 The function returns an array of entries within that daterange where there
 is a match on the hash.
 Sort by date

 --------

 **Step 3**

  - Save it somewhere outside of WP database  - since it cant be a part of
 the database it's trying to govern.
