The two problems are not unrelated. It's possible that finding somebody willing to use antlr would be easier than finding somebody willing to use yacc or write it from scratch.
For a potential new contributor possibly, but I doubt that's true for most existing Wine contributors. My personal experience is that most people I know that use or used ANTLR are Java developers rather than C developers though. I did use ANTLR v2.x myself in the past (I wrote some Java too, hope it doesn't show too much ;)), although more in a maintenance kind of way. Seemed to work well enough, although I don't remember it having compelling features over bison/yacc.
