What is "This isn't a request" supposed to mean? Because this person no longer works at Github and has no claim over the code they wrote while there. They therefore have no power in that decision so it can't be a demand. It seems to me to either be a request or a threat of some type of retaliation if they don't act.

A lot of people write "you need to do x" as a sort of command, the unspecified reason being the writer's preference. "You need to do x because I want you to". In this case I can imagine other possible reasons. Reasons about which one would want to be discreet.
