Upstream has some Nix tooling. However, it's currently failing to build the program given its use of a vulnerable qt5 library:

error: Package ‘qtwebengine-5.15.19’ in /nix/store/149h1h9bpd4vnl0rnm4s3dm7mh5pgv6q-source/pkgs/development/libraries/qt-5/modules/qtwebengine.nix:442 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.

This said, they're also looking into updating the project to QT6, so we ¹ should probably wait for that to finish before discussing with them the possibility of upstreaming the package to Nixpkgs, which would be a great addition to the community.
