Repetition can be reduced using JOSM. Set it to 'expert mode'

Requires a plugin 'utiltools' or 'More Tools'.

Create your addresses along one street without street name, postcode, sub etc - just the house number.

Finished? Ok - create a node with the street name, post code etc. Now ^C it to put the information on the clip board.

Now select the nodes what you want to replicate the information .. then press the  'shift' key with the 'R' key.
Delete the node that only has the street name, post code, etc.

Repeat for each street.

I have been busy doing street names and house numbers for some years:

I normally use Potlatch and the address consists of street number and name, post code and suburb name for each house.  I question if it is necessary to add the post code and suburb name as these are implicit in the dwelling location. It does get very repetitive.  If these are required for searching purposes perhaps they could be done using software on the data base?  I presume it is all stored and taking up database space?

Address data could also be used to verify street/road names and also add them where they are missing.
