One thing I've been meaning to try, but never got round to, is to stick a URL on an envelope, pointing at a page with an address, and see if the mail (royal mail, in my case) actually deliver it. I suspect they would but that it would take a few extra days. It's no worse than some of the addresses that they do deliver.

What about encoding the address as a QR code?

This should not require any Internet access to view by whoever is scanning it to be sorted for delivery.

It also does not help you to update the address later.

  It does if it leads to a web page with an address.
  What happens when all project maintainers die and the source code disappears?

  It does, but I think the person you were responding to was referring to the "This should not require any Internet access to view" part.

  Hopefully it will never disappear, since Software Heritage and ArchiveTeam will have saved it.
