Comment (by xkon):

 I'm a bit on the gray area with this and the bubbles (#44000). I don't
 feel that it's necessary (but I'm not even using Dashboard overall as well
 on any of my sites so...I'm kinda not the best to decide for this).

 To answer to your questions @karmatosed and give as much info possible in
 a compact way: There's no "easy" way at the moment to have a view of any
 Exports/Erasures that your website might have, the only way to know if
 anything has changed is by navigating to Tools and opening each page.

 Two possible implementations (that have been asked & discussed in #core-
 privacy) are to show them in the Dashboard either as part of an existing
 widget or on their own (so this ticket explores both of those ways) and
 another discussion was raised for bubbles in the menu at #44000.

 Now to give my 2c here as well (and not only slack). I can understand why
 this might be needed on big sites that could have a lot of requests, but
 in general, those sites IMHO would/should essentially have someone doing
 the specific "job" of taking care of requests (i.e. a Data Protection
 Officer) so opening 2 pages kinda seems like not such a big problem to me.

 Also good to note is that when we're talking about requests, the last
 known valid timespan that I know of for fulfilling a request (under the
 GDPR) is within 1 month and that can be extended also on some occasions
 i.e. for technical reasons. So again I don't see how having notifications
 and stats would greatly help as essentially you have 1 full month to go to
 those 2 pages and act accordingly per request.
