I will volunteer to be the alternatives maintainer. I may need some
help, though.
The package has not been released for over 10 years, for cygwin 1.7, I
think. The download location is worse than 404, it is "We can’t
connect to the server at www.fastcoder".
I found what appears to be a Fedora repository on GitHub that is in
active development.
https://github.com/fedora-sysv/chkconfig
I'm getting ready to have a first look at the code. I think the
packaging will be more of a problem than the code revisions.
