From memory, Google already has its own (internal) pattern library, so I doubt they'd have much interest in working on another one, unless they were prepared to open up their own.

That said, there are already a ton of other webapp pattern libraries out there anyway -- more or less all the libraries that show up when you Google for "UI pattern library" are just such things.  Yahoo's is probably the closest to what Google might be using: <http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/>

Cheeri,
