Yes, this sounds like a good step in the right direction. This would give anyone (with a signed OCA) the ability to create their own branch, commit changes to it, submit a PR, etc.

One non-obvious point to keep in mind is that you do need to make sure that all contributors (to a PR, wiki entry, etc.) have signed the OCA, or the change can't be integrated back into the OpenJFX upstream.

I don't think that GitHub offers programmatic, conditional access to its functionality fo contributors, so enforcing that kind of requirement can be a source of frustration. Not enforcing it, on the other hand, creates long term frustration as well. [0]
