I can't say who came up with it. The point I first became aware of it was the posts, and consultation reports series, on Meta. It may well have predated that though, in which case I couldn't say.
Advanced search in old enwp and meta dumps, or mailing lists would be a way to explore before that. The topic was only discussed _in depth_ in a limited number of places easily identified by search, the expressions are very distinctive, and a list of wiki pages or list threads can be searched fairly easily to find exact posts or dates.
