"Maintain" in this context means "running admin/update-copyright every
year", which task I am more than happy to take on.

"Unmaintained" is a very loaded word.  I would rather describe it as
"working."

But the implications of your sentence aside, that is precisely my plan,
yes.

My intention is to guarantee that this feature is known to the maximum
number of users possible, that it may actually be _useful_, rather than
languishing in ELPA.  I'd been passively searching for such a feature
since the time not filling columns to a reasonable width became popular
with a certain programmer demographic, yet learned of adaptive-wrap from
word-of-mouth, not the package list, gnu-emacs-sources, or the like.

Had it been part of Emacs from the outset (thus documented, mentioned in
NEWS, and so on), it would undoubtedly be less obscure than it is now.
