The schedule of OSM updates

[peter....@gmail.com]

France is assigning street names in communes where previously there were none, and giving street numbers to the buildings on newly named streets - as for instance in Ardeche, where all the roads in the commune of St Pierre St Jean (07140) have been named, and in St Jean, for instance, all houses have been assigned numbers. The numbers, I believe, are in meters from where the named street begins.

Now I'm curious how the new names and numbers will percolate their way upward into OSM maps. What is the process? What are the data sources for these new names and numbers? Especially for a rural, sparsely inhabited commune like St Pierre St Jean.

Concretely, when may it be possible to look up a house with a given number on, say, the Route de Peyre?

If you've added the information at openstreetmap.org as appropriate, it's in OpenStreetMap immediately without delay.  Osmand snapshots about once a month give or take a few days usually, and Osmand Live can get that down to less than an hour.

So, have you added this information to OpenStreetMap yet?

When some mapping volunteer adds the relevant data to OSM. If you have
had any changes in your locality, you can add those changes to OSM
yourself, anyone can sign up and start adding data.

Unless France has given explicit direct permission for someone from OSM
to directly consume their data source, the official 'source' would be
someone surveying the changes on the ground after they are made and
adding the data to OSM from the survey.

Rural, sparsely inhabited, areas are less likely to have an active OSM
volunteer cover them. If there are any you can cover, then you can add
the data yourself.

First some volunteer OSM mapper must add it to OSM.

and

After the data is added to OSM, then the OSMAnd map creation process
has to happen using the new OSM data.

I don't know if it's helpful to you, but here is the relevant wiki page

That tells me what I need to know. Now to see if I can find a helper to drive all the local streets and snap the locations of all the (currently) numbered houses. It won't be easy: the commune is spread out sparsely over kilometers of mountainsides, including some long culs-de-sac.
