Comment:

 No, they shouldn't. Auto-drafts are empty posts. There is no data in them.
 They are created just to have a post_id so the user can add categories and
 tags before saving the post for the first time.

 Revisions are just post backups. They should be deleted or reassigned when
 anonymizing but there is nothing to export in them. Will just make
 everything extremely confusing.

 Also, post data is not "exportable" personal information in the first
 place, unless proven otherwise. See #43809.
