Pretty straightforward: what tips and advice would you give me if I were to start an open source project of a game? Where to share my intention of beginning this project, where to find contributors, how to organize the workflow etc.

I mean first, I'd probably ask you to check out what exists.

RTS: Beyond All Reason

Roleplaying: Space Station 14 (Space Station 13 "sequel" decouples from Beyond Launcher and apparently easier to contribute and extend)

Roguelike: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

FPS: Unvanquished (I have never played or seen this one)

Theres much more here:
List of Open Source Games

It may feel good to join something already moving than trying to get people to start over on something new.
