I thought of this a while ago. I don't think that we will see any "widely-used" open-source GPU in the near future. There is just no man-power to create and maintain such things. Most projects start somewhere but fail along the line.
I think there are just 2 options:
1. like this project but not as a separate chip: just make a display output (i.e. DisplayPort) and run everything else on the CPU via LLVMpipe and vulkan-cpu. Sure the CPU needs many cores that way.
or
2. ask AMD or Intel to make one of their older GPUs open-source
