This looks like part of the fallout of the recent expiry of one of
Let's Encrypt's root certificates.  See:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?110546
https://letsencrypt.org/2021/10/01/cert-chaining-help.html

What GNU/Linux distro are you using?  Try updating your packages --
particularly ca-certificates and packages like openssl, gnutls,
libssl, etc. -- and see if it helps.  If not, you can read more on
the topic in recent articles around the web, and apply one of the
suggested workarounds.

Strange; are you saying that you can clone/fetch from other git
repositories from git.savannah.gnu.org, and only not org-mode.git?
