And probably the related papers. The HKP final report doesn't present all the details of the calibration of the secondary distance indicators. Other papers were devoted to that.

And/or the Spergel et al. one?

Perhaps at some point.

Not all of either, but the parts which lead to the final estimate and the estimated systematic uncertainties.
More generally, maybe it's worth looking at what's known about the stated systematic uncertainties in the main independent methods used to get to an estimate of H0?

And cross comparisons between methods reveal some inconsistenties as I noted in the OP.
