Comment:

 Thanks for the patch refresh there @dominic_ks it worked really nicely.

 In [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/44264/44264.2.diff
 44264.2.diff] I made the following minor changes;
 - Fixed PHPCS issues for spacing
 - Changed 'delete-progress' to 'erasure-progress' as the tool is for
 Erasures which don't always involve deletions.
 - Changed '$progresCont' to just '$progress' as we want full words for
 variable naming and I wasn't sure what the 'Cont' meant.

 Uploaded some gifs to illustrate the Progress indicators for both the
 Export and Erasure tools.

 This looks great so let's get it in for 5.4 after some more testing. Also
 just adding `needs-design-feedback` to ensure the design team like this
 direction.

 Note: For testing unless you expand upon the number of exporters/erasures
 in your test install it'll always be a quick progress as by default
 there's not many.

 And last question, not sure if it's worth it but am wondering if we should
 add progress indicators for the admins in the cases they use the admin
 links for 'Download Personal Data' [Export] and 'Force Erase Personal
 Data' [Erasure]. These are found by the admin when they hover over the row
 as row-actions. *I'll post some screens to illustrate.
