Suggest adding hyphen to repo description: "Missing-data visualization..."

This is a minor thing, but without that hyphen there I initially read the Github repo description as meaning more of a marketing-hype 'this is the data visualization module that Python has been missing!!!' instead of the plainly descriptive 'this is a Python module for visualizing missing data'.

Oh, for sure - if it's just by itself as a noun, then it's "missing data", as in: "I noticed a bunch of missing data."

But when the phrase is modifying something else, per English grammar rules it gets hyphenated to clarify what's part of the modifier and what's part of what's being modified... e.g., "We have a huge missing-data problem" (distinguishing 'We have a huge problem with missing data' from 'We have a data problem that is huge and missing'.)

As I said in OP, it's definitely a minor thing -- but it made me significantly misread your tagline when I first saw it.

Still will very likely try out the tool, though -- I can think of some past work where it would've come in really handy!
