Hmm... I just tried here to add

     ("lua-mode"                :url "https://github.com/immerrr/lua-mode/";
      :ignored-files ("test" "travis" "init-tryout.el"))

to `elpa-packages` in my clone of nongnu, and then I did

    make fetch/lua-mode
    make build/lua-mode

and it "worked for me".  I tried re-running `make build/lua-mode`
a second time (after deleting the tarballs) and again it worked:

    % make build/lua-mode
    emacs --batch -l /home/monnier/src/emacs/nongnu/admin/elpa-admin.el     \
             -f elpaa-batch-make-one-package lua-mode
    Updating worktree in "/home/monnier/src/emacs/nongnu/packages/lua-mode/"
    Updated lua-mode: fatal: No remote for the current branch.
    
    Warning: lm-maintainer is obsolete!

    Built new package archive/lua-mode-20210802.tar!
    %

Indeed I also see the "No remote for the current branch" error
message, but it doesn't prevent the production of the tarballs.
