I package nmh for Fedora.  It won't build for EPEL 7 and I haven't figured
out how to get it into EPEL 8 and 9 to try.  I might not have time for a
while.  If you want to take a look, that would be very helpful.

If you want to build an rpm yourself, this should work:

    wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nmh.git/plain/build_nmh
    sh build_nmh -drv -b 1.7-release

and respond to the prompts.  The RPM will be put in the RPM/RPMS/<arch>
directory below the installation.
