Does it? I don't think ex-Googlers gives anything of value here.

It indicates that the project is worth a closer look rather than waiting or dismissing it outright.

Why? Being an ex-googler could just as easily imply they were incompetent and fired.

So, you're assuming that half of all ex-googlers were fired? Otherwise, there aren't equal probabilities.

I'm curious, could you explain why? Google is an incredibly large company with many developers who never even touch their data systems so to me saying ex-Googler really doesn't mean anything beyond that they're probably a senior developer considering how rigorous (and honestly some old hat) their interview process is. But that doesn't change my viewpoint of the project at all.
