I'm a developer on Bazel, and AFAIK there is no white paper. We definitely don't want to "throw it over the wall," we're going to try to push more and more development into the open over time.
Ah, OK, thanks. I do get a kick out of reading various Google white papers (GFS, Spanner, and the Multi-Paxos implementation for Chubby come to mind), so I'd definitely be interested in the prospect of a future white paper :).
