I'd say that the purpose of describing patch or git apply in the manual
is a quick reference for ordinary users who report a bug and want to
test the proposed fix.
More detailed instructions may be added to

I'd better see these links in org-contribute.
Possibly, we can add a new item to "Ways that do not involve programming":
- Help to test the proposed patches: You can help checking the quality
of existing patches submitted to the mailing list. Just apply the
patch (see [[how to apply patches]]) and try using it with your Org
setup. Then report any issues or rough edges.
<<how to apply patches>> can then detail different ways to do it and
provide the above links as further reading.
