While not being a capo, I don't think it is a good idea to copy all those data into OSM.
Rather than that, try to make use of the url=* tag to point to data sources which get updated more frequently than a map ever will be. Apps using OSM data can then start queries on these data sources, if of any interest. You could even create a link to a dynamic phonebook db page to look up numbers of inhabitants based on the address info in OSM (which belongs definitely there). I think it is not a future problem to improve the map detail density, but to keep it up to date. That's one of the reasons why I don't map buildings if they are not of special interest. Just my point of view, yours may differ.
