Description
### Impacted plugin
Jetpack
### What

In the email `Confirm your subscription`, upon clicking `Confirm email`, could we _redirect to a page acknowledging the subscription, stating that an email was sent – not to the WordPress.com account._
User request: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/subscription-widget-not-working-6/#post-17360704
### How
I tested it, `Confirm email` auto-logins when applicable, and goes to https://wordpress.com/sites, but a better page might be https://wordpress.com/read/subscriptions/pending with a message to `Confirm` the subscription.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the Confirm email link from the “Confirm your subscription” email through the Jetpack subscription flow, then inspect the current redirect to wordpress.com/sites and the proposed /read/subscriptions/pending destination. Done means the user reaches an acknowledgement page explaining that a subscription-confirmation email was sent, rather than being sent to the WordPress.com account.
