You can get a contact from the username of the user. This method gets the contact by email address and contains code to get the username from the email address.

 public Contact GetContact(string email)
 {
        // managerRoot is the top level ECM item
        ManagerRoot managerRootFromId = Factory.GetManagerRootFromID(managerRoot.ID.ToString());
        var username = Util.AddressToUserName(email);
        string commonDomain = managerRootFromId.Settings.CommonDomain;
        string fullName = commonDomain + "\\" + Util.AddressToUserName(username);

        if (User.Exists(fullName))
        {
            return Contact.FromName(fullName);
        }
        return null;
    }

You should then be able to add the Contact to the subscription list.

Or once you have the Contact you can set the profile values and use the subscribe method.

contact.InnerUser.Profile["Fullname"] = string.Format("{0} {1}",person.Firstname,person.Surname);
contact.Subscribe(subscriptionLists);

You can also add ECM users by using the following code supplying the email address as the localname.

 protected static Contact CreateAnonymousECMUser(string localName, ManagerRoot root)
 {
        Contact contact = (Contact)null;
        if (root != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(localName))
        {
            string commonDomain = root.Settings.CommonDomain;
            Assert.IsNotNullOrEmpty(commonDomain, EcmTexts.Localize("The Common Domain setting is not set.", new object[0]));
            string str = commonDomain + "\\" + Util.AddressToUserName(localName);
            while (User.Exists(str))
                str = str + "_";
            string password = new PasswordGenerator()
            {
                MinimumCharacters = 14
            }.Generate();
            System.Web.Security.Membership.CreateUser(str, password, localName);
            contact = Contact.FromName(str);
            contact.Profile.ProfileItemId = root.Settings.SubscriberProfile;
            contact.Profile.Save();
        }
        return contact;
  }
