Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

These estimates are given in the final reports on the surveys and on STATcompiler. Unless you are particularly interested in the construction of demographic rates, you probably do not need to re-calculate them.

We have a GitHub site with programs for the standard tables (https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata). Maternal mortality is in the chapter with adult mortality rates (Chap16_AM) and the stillbirth rate is in the chapter with fertility rates (Chap05_FE).
