Hi Christopher, I've gone ahead and emailed Colin Walters, the maintainer of antlr3 to see if he would like to look at this. However, I'm thinking that your objections may be based on a misunderstanding of the relationship between antlr3 and antlr4. Antlr4 is not backwards compatible with antlr3, and because of this it in no way replaces, obsoletes or interferes with antlr3. A good analogy is GTK+, GTK2 and GTK3. Each of these major versions broke backwards compatibility, and as a result, all three are offered in the repository. Similarly, antlr3 and antlr4 and essentially two different tools, both can be offered in the repository and both can be installed simultaneously on a system. So while certainly it may be helpful for the antlr3 maintainer to look over the package, technically there is no reason that this couldn't be introduced into the repository without worrying about antlr and antlr3. Aside from the build dependency that I mentioned earlier and obvious geneological relationship, antlr3 and antlr4 are essentially unrelated tools.
