Solve the problems you have. If your only motivation for the project is "it's open source", you're not likely to get super motivated to continue.

Otherwise, just start and upload to GitHub. Maybe let some related community know that it exists. There's not much more to it.

I second this. I work on https://github.com/micro. It started as a single small project solving a specific problem and then expanded from there.
