Subscription Request lacks pertinent information

[Stephen Buergler]

Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
empathy:
  Installed: 3.6.0.3-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.6.0.3-0ubuntu1
  Version table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The Subscription Request dialogue includes almost no information. There are
no links to what service it's talking about. There are no links to this person's
profile page. I also don't see an option to table to request. Do I have to respond
to it immediately? Is closing the dialogue the same as declining it?
It's also not clear how to get to a list of currently active subscription requests.
I'm pretty sure I had a bunch of subscription requests but I am unsure where
they went or what happened to them after I closed them.
Why is it called a subscription request anyway?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

This is still an issue in Trusty (14.04). I have 20 or 30 spam requests from the same person in my messaging menu but when I click on them I get no information on which service or account these are coming from.
