I'm not sure... it is a subscription request from the other user to
subscribe to your online status.

I have no issue with adding a more descriptive/informational message,
but it should be clear that the other user can now monitor your status
(I would suppose that is exactly what the term "Subscription Request" is
meant to imply).

Title:
  “Subscription request” dialog is confusing

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Confirmed
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  When someone tries to add me to their contact list, the “Subscription
  request” dialog appears. However, this dialog is very unclear and
  confusing. The title is “Subscription request”, which in itself is not
  very clear (did I subscribe to something) and 3 buttons (“Decide
  Later”, “No”, “Yes”) are presented to the user, but no question is
  asked (see attached screenshot).

  The title should be changed and a question should be asked to the
  user, something along the lines of “John Smith wants to chat with you.
  Do you want to accept his request and add him to your contact list?”
  with clear labels on the buttons, such as “Decide Later”, “Refuse”,
  “Accept”.
