You definitely need to wait for a reply for at least a week, then generally try one last time to contact him. Hijacking it after 1 day isn't responsible and is sometimes considered rude, not everyone has access to email 24x7.

I do agree that not waiting for at least a week can be considered rude and is certainly overeager. It isn't a problem in this case, but I can conceive of a maintainer who could get angry over it.
