We already provide email contacts over IMAP and forwarding posts over email - unless I've missed something...
it's precisely this feature I want to use.
my wish is to give the possibility to a visitor who doesn't use any (distributed) social networks, but just email, to follow posts from a friendica user.
the feature which forward posts over contact email works fine,
but there is no possibility to be notified that someone wants to be an email-contact and receive posts.

with my little knowing of code I just want / could do :
put a field in the "/dfrn_request/user" page for visitors to give me their email address.
a little php fonction could send to my email address (configured in IMAP settings) an email saying that "some email" want to be a contact.
(it could too send an email from this visitor's address to permit subscription later.)
to see this email/notification in my stream, the sender as to be a contact already registered.
a function in "connectors settings" could create a contact reserved to this type of notifications.
(a fake address, because it 'll just serve to send email and the 'From' field doesn't matter if the address really exist.)
this function should send en email to the IMAP mailbox from this address (to permit subscription :e ) and then shoud subscribe this address as contact.
after notified that ‘someone' wants to follow me by mail,
I just have to register this email as contact in the "add new contact" box (there is already an email from him in the imap mailbox).
et voilà
perhaps it's a little bit complicated, but this is how I found my resolution of my need.
** and thanks for precisions about new notification and theming, I appreciate.
