Which is why you shouldn't work under false pretenses. You willing to turn that project into a day job? No? Then tell them no. You owe them nothing. You've already done more than your "fair share" giving to the community by publishing open source code, no matter how good (or not) it is, or how many "galleries" it hangs in (or not). They have a problem? Well, by definition it's their problem, not yours. Let them own it, fork it, and solve it, if it's such a big deal.

"No" is how you set expectations and maintain integrity. You only have so many resources in a day. Don't become a load bearing internet person for free.
