The leading spaces are preserved in the list object, but since they  
are being displayed in a table cell, they don't appear in the GUI.

I can think of two possibilities, each a little messy:

1.  You could use bin/withlist to add leading    to the  
topics... and then never edit the topics through the GUI again.  (You  
can't use the web GUI since it will escape the &.)

2.  Modify your Mailman/Cgi/options.py where it does "Create the  
topics radios" and replace the leading spaces of the topic name with  
' ' when building the topics table rows.
