Don't say no. But don't say yes. Feature requests can live in the issue tracker indefinitely, they aren't an obligation on your part. If someone is insistent, ask if they're interested in submitting a PR. Or if they're interested in paying for that feature to be developed. If it's small, this is a good way to get some of your amazon wishlist items filled. If they're being inappropriate, just block them like any other troll on the internet. If the feature is genuinely something that doesn't make sense for the project, mark it as wontfix and briefly explain why you think it's out of scope. If you're feeling generous, mention some other solution that might solve their problem. Don't take it personally. It's just some rando on the internet.
