I also have a few exceptions I have identified while using this module (although nowhere near as many as the OP) and would like to know how to go about submitting them.
On the hour
issue, it's largely a regional distinction so the rather unhelpful answer is that there is no right answer. Hooray for english.
I have been doing some spot checks and have about 445 additional exceptions for syllable counts I can add to the file you have. I realize though that it might be a really frustrating experience to review as a PR, especially if you didn't want to add some of them.

I also wanted to share that it does look like there are few cases that seem to repeat a bit, in case it's useful for your algorithm (many of them seem like special cases):
-sed
or-ked
likepoised
ormarked
are often coded as 2 syllablese
that are pluralized likegraves
orgives
-ism
like journalism or socialism seem to undercount the last syllable-ly
seem to not count the adverb syllableI also realize this is controversial, but I count
hour
as 2 syllables for instance, but I don't know if everybody does
