It has been introduced in commit 63dd1c6f by Juri Linkov on 2012-09-02.

One way is to invoke `vc-annotate' in the buffer containing its
definition. That shows you at least the most recent commit changing its
value.
Another way was to mark its definition and invoke `vc-region-history'
which shows you all commits applied to that region.
Both ways require that you run emacs from your git checkout of course.
A third way is to use git directly in your emacs working directory:
$ git log --grep=isearch-lax-whitespace
which shows all commits where the commit message (which has
traditionally ChangeLog format in emacs) contains the string
isearch-lax-whitespace.
