It has been less than 24 hours for a simple comment cleanup patch.
Please give maintainers time, they deal with thousands of patches a

Usually, if after 2 weeks, you have not gotten a response, you can
resend it.

If you knew that you should wait for at least a week, and yet you did
not, that implies that you somehow feel this comment cleanup patch is
more important than everyone else, which is a bit rude, don't you think?
