If the government funds it I'd love to do maintenance on baldur's gate v1 for the rest of my life.

Between GemRB [0], ports to the BG2 engine (Tutu, BGT) as well as older community patches for BG1 itself, that game is already well maintained. It also doesn't have publisher operated server component though.
