I've been using StreetComplete. I feel not many people in AU are using
it - I could get into Australia weekly top-10 by spending ~15min per
day.
Also StreetComplete does not let me add numbers when the buildings are
not already recorded. When there are millions of addresses to be mapped
I fear it could take forever.

Thanks for the context. Which of the 7 Stages mentioned in the README
correspond to the corner cases?

Absolutely! Thankfully git is decentralised so I don't really need a
gitlab account. I could send patches in this mailing list (or a more
dev-focused mailing list like say dev-au if one could be created easily)
if that works for you?
Best,
