Comment (by dejliglama):

 Given that you have to actively request consent from a user before
 collecting data, when you reach:

 "5.
 The same user signs in again later. The plugin saves the user's IP address
 again since there is no way for the plugin to know that this user had
 requested a personal data erasure."

 You don't have "the same user" details, and that user would be asked to
 re-confirm the collection of data.


 But you are right that an off-site log of any GDPR related activity would
 need to be in place in order for plugins and core to see if any actions
 have previously been applied to a user (known entity via e-mail)
