Hi Ralph, 

It's my understanding that geary's development has been stalled for some time, ever since Yorba went under. 
There hadn't been a significant commit since last June (though there have been many merged translation 
updates). Someone might merge your PR, I just don't know (and, don't want to give the impression that I do 
know).

I do know there's a geary fork, pantheon mail, being actively developed by the elementaryOS team over on 
launchpad, where you might also be interested in submitting a PR.
