Sorry but I do not really understand this sentence and at least a type=* is
needed for a relation.

In your case, I would add addr:place to every object.
If you would use JOSM or Merkaartor adding one tag to several objects at once is
quite easy (do not know potlatch2).

With a well-designed workflow and filter / search (e.g. only editing the houses
and adding addr:housenumber and then search for "modified") this is only one task.

By the way, using josm-latest you can add several tags with the "add tag
dialog", especially helpful with repeating tags. Have a look at:
