Conclusion status
No confirmed conclusion exists for this pair. The evidence below is presented for transparency; a relationship conclusion requires a human review that has not happened, or a previous decision no longer matches the current evidence.
Evidence suggests paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx may succeed jonaswinkler/paperless-ng (directional claim found). Human review required before publication.
Seed context: 2026-09-21 researched candidate; NOT APPROVED; pending collector ingestion. Archived upstream README explicitly identifies paperless-ngx as direct community continuation. New README names succession and migration guide; repository actively maintained. Distinct GitHub IDs 138872921 -> 458648791. Sources: https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng and https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx. Raw evidence: succession-research-20260921.json. No independent compatibility guarantee.
Evidence (1)
Verbatim excerpts from official sources, whitespace-normalized. Full payloads are hashed and retained by the pipeline; collection failures never fabricate evidence.
Observed repository facts
As of the last verified collection. These are facts about the snapshots, not activity verdicts — a low number is not a claim that a project is inactive.
