In theory this is nice. However, one possibly silly question... personally I've found that most times when I wanted to list the topics, I normally also wanted to know additional metadata such as the leader of the topic.
So I just want to doublecheck that there are enough common use cases that only want to know the list of topics to merit creating a new request/response type?
