I would call this a valid request to be implemented *inside* LibreOffice. An
extension shouldn't be really needed for this kind of thing. And code-wise this
shouldn't probably only a few lines. And it can be automatically tested, IMHO.

Off topic: A testing framework for 'export feature' really needed; IMHO. I
assume mwtjunkmail would agree here. 

And export could be simple checkbox similar to 'export selection'. So export
page selection..

While looking at this, I also discovered an ambiguity here.

1. Create a draw document with 4 pages
2. Press CTRL+A in page pane
4. File -> Export -> Pick a file name and check Selection. Press OK in compress
settings.. error.. (naturally as 'selection' is meant to be object selection on
single page.. but that's not obvious; if you want to export multiple pages)

Another topic: the extension side needs a 'download counter'. Which makes it
more obvious what might should be implemented inside LibreOffice. Especially if
we are talking about basic extensions. This is not worth an extension. This
simply workaround UX or tired of waiting until it gets implemented :-). 

FWIW: for me in person I don't care (not using Export). However I do understand
why it's requested. And why it should be implemented inside LibreOffice.
