 Sorry for the delay @xkon

 I've been debating the issue of GDPR activity logging with my colleagues,
 and although we do see the need as we previously described in this ticket.
 The idea of having the log IN WordPress, and inside the same database/
 filesystem as the data it's to keep a log over, seems to be a bad idea.

 We're currently working on an external solution based on Logstach which
 will probably be baked into a Plugin that will hook into any identifiable
 GDPR related actions within WordPress. To be able to store anonymous data
 outside of the WP install.

 In WP terms, I believe that leaves this ticket as a stub, and perhaps it's
 more important for WP core to be able to help clearly identify which
 activities within WP that can be deemed GDPR activity...
