I can't come close to answering the subject line.
However, maybe I can help with "where to start looking."
My method of attack [which you likely have done some of] would include:
1. In which release was Gnome3 made the default.
2. Look for the release announcement. [establish a late date for
search].
3. I suspect that searching for the _opening_ of a bug report about
Gnome might be useful.
4. As the development of MATE was a reaction to the development of
Gnome3, look for a spike in the discussion of MATE on _Debian_
mailing lists.
HTH YMMV ;/
