Comment (by dshanske):

 Other than my responsibility as the Component Maintainer, minimal as it is
 as Pingbacks aren't that popular, I'm not as personally concerned about
 the privacy implications. But I know how seriously the GDPR has made
 people think about privacy implications, so I want to make sure we have a
 position as a community on pingbacks and trackbacks.

 I have made a case for better Pingbacks presentation, which would store
 more data for the sole purpose of making a richer comment and make the
 feature more popular. But the question being, does retrieving data from a
 pingback source create a privacy problem? @azaozz, you outlined some good
 points, how do we address them? Or should we?
