If anyone demands I implement some feature into one of my open source projects that I either don't have time for or don't want to do, my response is one of the following:

I'll get to it when I can (if I actually care to do it)
You are welcome to implement it yourself and submit a PR
You are welcome to fork the project and do it yourself or convince someone else to do it

But thankfully, my projects don't have a very wide audience, so requests/demands are rare.

But you have to implement [Insert Niche Feature That Adds No Benefit For The Average User] because I need it and can't be bothered to implement it myself! /s
