We certainly could. Something like:

[Project]
name=gnome-panel
short-descr=The GNOME Panel
short-descr[fr]=Tableau de bord GNOME
long-descr=blablabla\nSecond line
long-descr[fr]=blablabla\nDeuxième ligne
licenses=GPLv2+;LGPLv2.1+;
maintainers=markmc;vuntz;
branches=gnome-2-24;gnome-2-26;
last-stable-version=2.26.0
last-devel-version=2.25.92

[Maintainer vuntz]
name=Vincent Untz
mail=vuntz gnome org

[Maintainer markmc]
...

[Branch gnome-2-24]
git-branch=gnome-2-24
last-version=2.24.3
all-versions=2.24.0;2.24.1;2.24.2;2.24.3;

[Version 2.26.0]
date=2009-03-16
url=http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-panel/2.26/gnome-panel-2.26.0.tar.bz2
md5sum=...
filesize=...

...

And it's certainly not hard to write a script do convert this to DOAP if
we want.

Now, does it make sense to have such a format? I don't know :-)
