Yeah I completely agree 100%. People should read the wiki a lot more or even reach out to ask questions..

Also, I made a tool to help make adding addresses easier and faster without relying on JOSM.

I have the cpu version on my github here: 

https://chmod-x0.github.io/OSM-Address-Tagger/

And this one for mobile use (Tested and working on iOS):

https://chmod-x0.github.io/OSM-Address-Tagger-Mobile/

Hopefully this can be helpful for you or anyone else who wants to make adding addresses less tedious!
