I think this is handled easily enough with existing org-mode + emacs
facilities

1) Mark the sub-tree (C-c @ is useful)
2) Copy and yank where you need it
3) Mark the new copy (or activate transient mark mode)
4) M-C-% (query-replace-regexp in region) to eliminate all the lines not starting with "*"

A suitable regexp should be "^[^*].*^J" where the ^J (linefeed) is entered by C-q C-j.
