I strongly agree with the "progressive" approach in which some put data and
later others refine it, but here we are talking about a complex situation.
There are several towns in Italy that after imports or good local work have
a complete mapping of house numbers on separate nodes while others
completely miss them.
In both cases looking only at missing tags in buildings will lead to a
false perception of the situation, because also the well mapped towns will
appear as "white spots" to be filled.
What would happen if some StreetComplete users start filling the gaps where
all the house numbers are already mapped?
I really understand the value of your app, but we are back to step zero: as
long as the current rules are in place I think that it could be risky to
let people map in the way you propose.
I would in any case suggest to wait some more time to let the community
further discuss about the topic.
