Comment (by imath):

 Now there is the GDPR, I suggest to have a different approach about this
 feature : request the user to opt-in to be notified when his comment has
 been approved.

 Here is the suggested process  :

 1) Once the comment has been submitted, the user is redirected to his
 comment where he can read the "awaiting moderation" info + a form to
 inform he wishes to be notified when the comment has been approved.

 2) Once the user activate the checkbox and validate the form, WordPress
 saves a comment meta to store this wish and the user is redirected to his
 comment again with a message to inform him he will receive the
 notification when the comment has been approved.

 3) The site administator is informed a user has opted in to be notified
 (to avoid using the cron).

 4) When the site administrator approves the comment, the notification is
 sent and the comment meta is deleted.

 The process is included into the
