Comment (by carike):

 We are not creating core functionalities for any specific piece of
 legislation.
 That having been said, we need to keep in mind possible use cases when
 deciding on sane defaults for core.

 As far as 3.) goes, it is very likely in medium to large organizations
 that the Data Protection Officer would need to confirm that the
 verification requirements have been met (such as having a signed affidavit
 on file that confirms under penalty of perjury that the person is who they
 say they are).

 As far as 4.) goes, it is very likely, again in medium to large
 organizations, that the DPO would need to collate personal information
 held about the user on other systems to include in the .zip folder.

 However, we do acknowledge that for small to micro-organizations, where
 comments are likely the only personal information kept by the site, a
 higher level of automation may be highly desirable.

 That is why we are suggesting a compromise in the form of a very simple
 TRUE / FALSE filter, rather than removing the admin-approval by default in
 core.

 We can discuss including a bulk-functionality of some sort, but such a
 filter would be faster to implement (as we have a core developer who is
 willing to do this) and would allow for the plugin developer to by-pass
 the "manual" administrator clicks at the website owner / admin's own risk
 (by installing a plugin / adding their own code in functions.php / a MU
 plugin).
