Newsyslog isn't a daemon per se.  It runs from cron.  The rc.d/newsyslog
script merely trims the files at boot in case they need it.  There's no
point to having "status" keyword supprot for it as there's normally
nothing much to report (though I guess you could have it use '-n -v' or
something to see which files need trimming or some similar nonsense).

I'd say 'quota' and 'accounting' fall into the latter category too.  :-)

This is a good thing!
