It is part of the Texinfo source repository:

  http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/texi2html/?root=texinfo

although apparently no longer maintained:

  http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/

and not included in the Texinfo distribution.

Despite that, some distributions do include it within their texinfo
packages, e.g.

  
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Leap:42.2/texinfo/texinfo.spec?expand=1

from which you can see that the separate distributions are still
available, but have not been updated since 2010:

  http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/texi2html

However there is a partially compatible drop-in replacement which is a
simple wrapper around texi2any:

  
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/util/texi2html?root=texinfo&view=markup

Perhaps I need to convert the build process to use that.  I have no
idea how well it would work right now.
