We develop Org mode separately from Emacs in a different git repository.
See https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html or "source code" link
in https://orgmode.org/

My patch was against Org repository, not Emacs.

Applying a patch is the same as with any other git repo. We might drop a
reference to some online documentation on how to use git, but (1) I am
not sure what should be the place to put such a reference; (2) If you
are unsure how to apply patches, you could ask, and I would offer another
way to test things.
