I think there would be more value to this project as a standard, and a set of implementations of the standard in different libraries and frameworks.

The companies I work for are just going to re-implement this (poorly) in their own language and framework. They generally can't just pick up a single turn-key solution, because they already have 50 custom internal systems with records they need to manage.

If there were open source libraries that followed a standard for GDPR record management, they could pick up those libraries and plug the pieces they need together, according to the standard. That would remove a lot bugs from trying to write all the code themselves, and make it easier to integrate different systems.
