Comment (by mnelson4):
I tested this and am not sure what to expect. Here's what happened:
-using the develop branch, I pulled the latest
-I applied the patch
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/43602/43602.7.diff (only
that one- I'm not sure if I should apply other patches too... sorry, but
I'm not sure if I should apply ALL patches or just the latest)
-I initiated a data erasure request from the admin,
-received the email to confirm data erasure
-clicked the link to confirm data erasure
-as site admin, confirmed "Remove Personal Data"
-some of the user's comments were removed, and some had the commenter
renamed to "Anonymous"
-the WP user was not removed or anonymized (this ticket's description gave
me the impression it should have)
