Hi,

the thing is, I’m absolutely against *automatically* importing all the BEV 
addresses, just to make that clear. With the plugin, I just want to support 
users who trace single buildings and want to add an address to it. I imagine 
the process to be like this:

- A user adds a satellite imagery layer in JOSM
- They draw a building outline and add tags like building=yes, maybe something 
like shop=supermarket, the name of the building if they know it, etc.
- They want to add the address, klick the corresponding button in JOSM and if 
the address is found, the correct tags are added
- The source of the address data is either added to the source tag or in the 
changeset source field (the latter is better I guess)
- The changeset source makes it reproducible which address data sets have been 
created by using the data

Now if this process is considered an import and really requires a separate user 
account, then this is not feasible due to the following reasons:

- Creating an import user account and publishing the credentials or even 
putting them into the plugin source code / configuration would enable everyone 
to commit stuff without having accepted the usage terms. This is not an option.
- Who am I going to give the credentials? People who have a lot of OSM 
experience? How can I know that? Does every person who contributes using the 
data create their own import account? How can I know which accounts are such 
accounts?
- I can’t separately commit non-address tags and address tags. What if a user 
wants to add *all* details to a building and then commit it as a whole?

I don’t want to be “importing” the data only by myself, I’d rather give 
everyone the possibility to contribute using the plugin. I don’t see how I can 
do that with these restrictions.
