The composer require command can help you get your requirements into composer.json more easily. However, that ease is more theoretical than actual for modules without a full stable release.

The Honeypot module has a full stable release version, so any of these will work:

composer require drupal/honeypot:8.*
composer require drupal/honeypot:8.x
composer require drupal/honeypot:8
composer require drupal/honeypot

The place to download code for projects on Gitorious (as code, not as a clone of the repository) has proven difficult to find for several people, including myself.

For a project without tags and branches that you just want to download HEAD, the path looks like:

gitorious.org/projectname/repositoryname/archive-tarball/master

To find it, go to your project page and click for either the commit log or the source code tree of a repository, and it will add this link on the side for "Download master as tar.gz"
