Similar to the addtopic.py tool I posted on Jun 11th, but doing
get instead of set.  topic_subscribers.py

import sys
from Mailman import mm_cfg

def topic_subscribers(m, topic):
    if not m.topics_enabled:
        print "topics aren't enabled for list", m.real_name
        sys.exit(2)
    if topic not in [x[0] for x in m.topics]:
        print topic, "is not a valid topic for list", m.real_name
	sys.exit(2)
    for member in m.members:
        if topic in m.getMemberTopics(member):
	    # flag users that get messages other than topics
	    if m.getMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.ReceiveNonmatchingTopics):
	        print member, "+"
	    else:
                print member
	else:
	    # if not subscribed to the topic, but receiving non matching
	    # messages
	    if m.getMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.ReceiveNonmatchingTopics):
                print member, "*"

$ bin/withlist -r topic_subscribers mylist fish

would then list everyone subscribed to the 'fish' topic of 'mylist'
(as well as people that receive messages for any topic).
