This is me as well. Fortunately I've used Calibre since my first ereader, so there's really been minimal maintenance involved for me. Whenever I add a new book, I make sure I enter the correct info, description, series info, nice cover, etc., and add my own minimal sensible tags (instead of the 25 that are usually added when just letting the search add tags).
Doing the full entries as I get each new book makes for minimal work involved, just a few minutes at a time. My library is over 5700 books now, and I have no problems at all finding whatever I want. If I had to do a lot of them all at once, I'd break it up into forcing myself to do maybe 50 or so a day. But I couldn't leave them without any organization, that would drive me nuts (and I end up buying duplicates of books I've already purchased).
