Subscription requests = 0 ? Bug or feature?
Even though I have a "Pending confirmation" request, the total entries under the subscription requests reads zero. I thought it should read whatever the total of (pending confirmation + pending approval) is.

It only counts the requests waiting moderator approval because this is the number requiring moderator action. It doesn't count the requests waiting user confirmation. The only reason these are even available in the moderator interface is so the moderator can discard them in cases where the user has lost the confirmation email and can't confirm and can't subscribe again because of the pending confirmation.

Thank you for the explanation. The logic is justified.
