"3" works for JOSM too (ImportImage plugin) albeit with limitations 
(image size etc.).

It is true that Potlatch doesn't do WMS natively but there are simple 
(http://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/whoots-a-small-wms-to-tile-proxy-wms-in-potlatch/) 
and more elaborate (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tirex) ways of 
serving a WMS as tiles for consumption by Potlatch.
