The topics are already saved in the Gnus newsrc.eld file.  You just need
to associate a numeric level with a topic, which Gnus can do as a topic
property and save it automatically (see gnus-topic-edit-parameters, 
`G p' in the *Group* buffer).  Simply, gnus-group-set-current-level (`S l')
needs to be adapted to handle topics as well.

Once that's done, your commands can become filters on the full topic
list based on each topic's level.

I hope you do!
