Don't bother. That's even more work for yourself, for reviewers, and
for the integrator, and it increases the cognitive load for everyone.

There are far fewer reviewers than there are people submitting patches
to this project, so it is helpful for submitters to do what they can
to make life easier for reviewers, and foregoing re-wrapping of lines,
in general, is one such way to do so. However, this is such a minor
change that it isn't going to matter one way or the other, especially
if Taylor, as interim maintainer, is willing to accept the extra noise
caused by re-wrapping.
