I'd say: both.

git status could have been spelled "git commit --dry-run", they're
actually the same command, but "git status" stops before launching the
editor and doing the actual commit. So, they take the exact same set
of options.

That said, in an ideal world, "git status -h" would mention that the
commit message options are ignored with "git status".
