git-gui--askpass can ask for a password, or yes/no questions. But this
is neither, it's a reject/accept temporary/accept permanently
question.

Perhaps the prompt could be rewritten as two yes/no questions, though?
Something like "Accept certificate? (yes/no)" and if the answer is
"yes", query with something like "Store certificate? (yes/no)".
Dunno...
