Takamoto:

I understand why you might be worried: the module hasn't changed in a long time, the author hasn't updated any of their modules in a long time, and the package has little in the way of test coverage.

In this case, though, I wouldn't worry about it: The module itself is just 80 lines of code that just verifies that it's running on windows, and if so, it looks in the registry for the proxy information. A quick google seems to indicate that looking in the registry is a common way to get proxy information, so I'd expect it to be a reasonable way to get the proxy information for the foreseeable future.
