Comment (by rconde):

 Well, the functionality for the user to initiate the data export request
 is already present, I've made a plugin that allows the user to initiate
 the data export request on the user side with no administrator involved.

 The flow of the data export is as follows:

 1 - The user requests its data export via plugins (this is already
 possible, as I've already made) or by contacting the the admin somehow so
 the admin can manually create the data export request.

 2 - The user receives an e-mail to confirm the requested action. The user
 clicks on the link and the request is user-confirmed. **At this moment,
 the request is already admin-confirmed as the admin have created the
 plugin to allow user-instantiated data exports or had created the request
 manually**.

 **3 - The administrator receives an e-mail that an user has confirmed some
 action so the administrator must log in and confirm the action.**

 **4 - Now the administrator needs to log-in, go to the "Export personal
 data" tab and click on the button "Send Export Link" so the user receives
 its requested zip file.**

 Is this admin-mail (3) or this manual click action (4) really needed?

 Let's focus on wp-admin/export-personal-data.php, there's nothing to add,
 nothing to configure. Just a button that changes from "Waiting for
 confirmation" (not a button) to "Send Export Link" to "Remove Request".

 If there were any type of manual configuration prior to sending the zip, I
 could understand it.

 But what we are really doing is forcing the administrator to make manual
 clicks for each user that have confirmed its data download. **There isn't
 even a bulk action for sending export links for all the users that have
 confirmed the action**.

 At least adding a bulk action (non-existant now) to send the export link
 to all the user-confirmed requests would help.
