A PR was just entered for that: 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191534

"list" and "status" and a couple of others that only apply for some GEOM 
modules (load, unload) are part of the base GEOM command set.  I was 
going to say we should just refer the reader to another page, maybe 
geom(8).

But gmirror(8) does include those commands in the synopsis.  We should 
be consistent with this, and I'd lean toward doing it the way gmirror(8) 
does now.
