And if you come to the HOT summit, we'll gladly have a cup of coffee with you.
I looked at the wiki page. You definitely have done your homework! One thing I don't fully understand: Why don't you import the housenumbers together diretly with the buildings? Or will you add the housenumbers all as nodes afterwards? If you plan to have them on the building contours, I think it makes sense to add them at the same time. It's implied from the text of the wiki page, but maybe you can add that all changes will be reviewed by human mappers and you may want to mention the todo list plugin. It may also make sense to mention that JOSM will be used and that howto instructions will be provided. What I usually see as a question on the imports list is the question how the data will be maintained/updated in the future. They/we care about this and it's part of the reason why they ask about the local community. They might even insist that the whole import is performed or at least followed up by local people who are familiar with the territory.
