 In BuddyPress 4.0, the data export screen was added. It is a great feature
 but it exposes the underlying software to end users.

 It should not show the plugin name or "WordPress" to the end users.

 The function

 {{{
 bp_settings_data_exporter_items()
 }}}


 uses registered data exporters and their "exporter_friendly_name" and that
 is the cause of the problem.

 An export friendly name may not be the best candidate for front end
 users(It is a good identifier for dashboard context).

 We will most probably need a way to use a different property if we decide
 to keep using the registered data exporters.

 Also, In order to fix it for now, Changing the "exporter_friendly_name"
 for the personal data exporters registered by BuddyPress will suffice.
 Whether it will be a good or bad idea, I am not sure.
