Is he cool with using his name and likeness?

Yes

Can you prove this? People could easily run into legal issues if they want to use this and it turns out he didn't grant the use of his name.

…why would you name this after a domestic abuser?

It's named after a great actor.

Who just so happens to be a domestic abuser, so...

Agreed, this is an uncomfortable name.

Do you take similar issue with the framework Sinatra?

Sinatra's dead. Depp is a real, living actor and the value of his name directly affects his current net worth. Glorifying him, therefore, is different than doing the same for Sinatra.

Maybe you should name this JohnnyDep so it's more an allusion and less the actual person's name? Dep makes more sense anyways, as dependency has one p.

Extending the subtlety vector a little more: "Johnny"

or "Jack"

I really don't understand modern web development. If people would build websites without shit, they wouldn't need stuff like this.

The web as a "document only" medium is long gone. However where I would slightly agree with you is new sites that could have a simple interface loading tonnes of JS. But for business apps delivered over the web, yes we need tooling to tame JS.

The config would be what you might call "guidelines".

So I read, but that doesn't detract from his acting ability, which is presumably why his name is being used for this project.

This is without doubt the worst dependency manager I have ever heard of.

Cringe level: 100%
