What really is lineage?

I know there's lots of opinions here on if lineage even matters, but it's currently a website option.
Hypothetically if someone got all of their belts from different coaches, and then all of their black belt stripes from different coaches, who is their lineage through and why?

It’s an attempt at “quality control” for a de-centralized grading system.

I’ve seen it listed both ways. A person lists their lineage as the person they got their black belt from and others change it to who they got their degrees from (if it’s a different person). The general consensus from reddit if that means anything is that your lineage stays with the person that awarded you the black belt. As a non black belt this is far removed from being an issue for me.
Also, it seems a lot of people don’t even know what their lineage is anyway. As an example, I see people list their lineage as: Carlos Gracie Sr > Carlos Gracie Jr when Helio Gracie actually promoted Carlos Gracie Jr to black belt.
