Generally, the idea is that someone would need to know the blog's URL to find it in the first place, which is where they will request access. By that point, you should probably know them.

If you don't know them, which can happen from time to time, I recommend just ignoring them. If they truly know you, they'll find some other way to get in touch.

But that doesn't explain the other requests (like the guy from India).

The requests are coming from (I suppose) the contact form - but they would have to have access to the blog to fill it out, so I'm confused.

The message comes through the service:

Howdy,

You can view the username profile on the gravatar site http://en.gravatar.com/
Example (note the syntax) http://en.gravatar.com/songscouting
If your blog is private then where are these requests coming from and how are they reaching you?

How can I view the requester's WordPress profile as I decide whether or not to allow access?
