In SpecialNewpages.php we find

  // Allow changes to the New Pages query
  wfRunHooks('SpecialNewpagesConditions', array(&$this, $this->opts, &$conds));

but alas no

  // Allow changes to the New Pages output
  wfRunHooks('SpecialNewpagesOutput', // (or call it 'SpecialNewpagesRow')

I.e., no way there in

      public function formatRow( $result ) {

for us to get our hands on one the components of

    return "<li{$css}>{$time} {$dm}{$plink} {$hist} {$dm}{$length} {$dm}{$ulink} {$comment} {$tagDisplay}</li>\n";

to tweak it before they are all stuck together, nor afterwords for that matter either.
