Comment (by azaozz):

 Few initial points on 43438.2.diff:
 - The admin-ajax endpoint will need a nonce check and `current_user_can()`
 check.
 - Think that we should have a specific DB query for this export, something
 like `SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->comments} WHERE comment_author_email =
 '[email]' LIMIT 10000`. Then can pick only the unique values from that, no
 need to repeat the same data all the time. Also, that DB query can
 possibly be more complex so we get only the unique data out of the DB.
 - It's using AJAX but overwrites the whole page. That is somewhat
 unexpected and can be confusing. IMHO better to just show it inline. Can
 move the PHP bits in the AJAX endpoint and just send the user_name or
 email to get it started.
