Comment (by bridgetwillard):

 Agreed. I like Google's Dev Guide. We should go with the passive.

 'This user's personal data export file was downloaded.'

 Thanks!

 > Thanks very much for the feedback @bridgetwillard and for sparking a
 lively discussion in core. Until the team finalizes WP's specific
 guidelines I think we should look to Google developer documentation style
 guide for this one;
 > https://developers.google.com/style/voice
 >
 > Specifically this exception;
 > > To emphasize an object over an action.
 > > **Recommended**: The file is saved.
 >
 > As the 'personal data export file' is the object we're emphasizing here
 I feel we go with what we have which make that the focus.
 >
 > This also aligns with the string this new one is based off of;
 > `'The personal data export link for this user was sent.'`
 >
 > Once WP settles on voice I'm sure we'll revisit the entire interface and
 these strings among them.
 >
 > One further improvement I was going to make but feel is more an
 enhancement, as it requires updates to function signatures, is replacing
 `this user` with the users actual email. When I went to create a ticket I
 found we have #47491 which already has this suggestion as it will move the
 notice out of the row to it's normal position so there'll be more of a
 need to correlate which notice is for which request.
 >
 > This is ready for commit in my eyes.
