I guess I've always struggled with this, because this seems like an extremely easy problem to solve.
In this particular instance, if you think the problem is "nix users are overwhelming me" - then you have a hard and fast requirement of: if you want support fill out this form that includes OS version. If someone lists NixOS as their version you give a canned response linking them back to the Nix github page.
If the issue is just a generic: my package is so huge there is just an unending list of people asking for help. Ignore them? I get as a maintainer you may have a desire to help folks, but nobody is forcing you to. Browse github and respond to the things you feel like responding to, and ignore the rest.
I mean this with all due respect, but part of being an adult is knowing when and how to say no.
