Now I'm curious how the new names and numbers will percolate their way

When some mapping volunteer adds the relevant data to OSM. If you have
had any changes in your locality, you can add those changes to OSM
yourself, anyone can sign up and start adding data.
What are the data sources for these new names and numbers?
Unless France has given explicit direct permission for someone from OSM
to directly consume their data source, the official 'source' would be
someone surveying the changes on the ground after they are made and
adding the data to OSM from the survey.
Especially for a rural, sparsely inhabited commune like St Pierre St
Jean.
Rural, sparsely inhabited, areas are less likely to have an active OSM
volunteer cover them. If there are any you can cover, then you can add
the data yourself.
Concretely, when may it be possible to look up a house with a given
number on, say, the Route de Peyre?
First some volunteer OSM mapper must add it to OSM.
and
After the data is added to OSM, then the OSMAnd map creation process
has to happen using the new OSM data.
