I'm not sure how easy that would be to translate correctly.  The markup
should be possible, but repositories such as github dont let you set the
json ld header.

Re package.json, does it allow arbitrary fields such as json ld does?

Here is the DOAP for tabulator:

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/hg/tabulator/raw-file/ccb18ebc1525/chrome/content/data.n3

(I think there may be a more recent version somewhere, I'll ask when people
get back from holidays)

rdflib.js package.json is here:

https://github.com/linkeddata/rdflib.js/blob/master/package.json

What might be neat is if there were an automatic translation tool that
would discover a DOAP through follow your nose (or search) then merge in
the correct terms into nodejs projects as a pull request.  Interestingly
some projects now pay for pull requests (e.g.
http://tip4commit.com/projects) so the bot could actually make a
profit! :)
