I have some doubts about replacing it (but as I am not a nmh developer I will _not_ vote). I like mh-format because it is self-contained in MH/nmh. nmh does not require additional software that is not under the control of the nmh developers (e.g., Tcl). I like MH because it does not have dependencies on third party software packages whose future changes are difficult to guess and/or manage. I agree, mh-format can be improved, but replacing it with a full-featured scripting language is a bit overkill, though. We really need a scripting language as Tcl to provide format strings to nmh commands?
