---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Currently there isn't a way to modify the meta boxes which set the post
 status. The function post_submit_meta_box in wp-admin/includes/meta-
 boxes.php is a closed function with post statuses hard coded. A new post
 status registered using register_post_status is available to the query
 object and plugins but cannot be added to the post status select box in
 the publish meta box.

 A lot of the post_submit_meta_box is hardcoded to the default post status
 types.

 Consider the use case where you want posts to only be visible to logged in
 users. A custom post status selectable by the user in add/edit post could
 be used which is then added or excluded in the query (filtered by
 posts_where) depending on whether the user is logged in or not. This way
 core can handle the non-visible posts the way private or future posts are
 handled.
