browserslist in package.json not working

If I try and put the browserslist in package.json (as recommended) it does not work, and the plugin always uses the default supported browsers settings. The only way it works is to add browserslist to the settings in eslintrc.js

Have I missed some configuration option that enables this, or is there a bug? I am using the most up to date npm version of this package.

Reproduce the issue with browserslist in package.json, then compare it with the working browserslist setting in eslintrc.js. Inspect the plugin's configuration entry point and verify that package.json settings are read instead of the default supported browsers; done means the package.json configuration changes the plugin behavior as expected.
