Have a look at the JOSM cadastre plugin. It contains a secondary tool to
help adding addresses (because they appear on the french cadastre).
You select the tool, then select a road/street, its name is catched by the
tool, then enter the first number and increment/decrement and each next
click will create the address node automatically with the chosen
increment/decrement.
It created associatedStreet relations by default (but can be switched to
use addr:street on nodes if you prefer), and allows to add addresses on
nodes or building polygons.
Adding 10000 addresses in Paris took me around 10 hours (roughly 1000
addresses/hour). Most addresses in France are added that way.

For quality assurance, we have one "address" analysis in osmose that
detects:
- multiple same address (same housenumber)
- multiple relations for the same street
- address too far from the street way
etc...
