If you confirm that the FSF confirmed that you're all set, then no.

Please clone like this:

~$ git clone https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git

and send patches as attachments to the mailing list.

Before sending patches, run this from your org-mode directory:

~$ make test

This does not say that the patch is correct, so further discussions
are often needed, but it checks whether the patch breaks current tests
or not, which is already useful.
