Greetings.
I am a big fan of org mode, but occasionally I feel that it is quite
difficult to figure out how to do a relatively simple task. So sorry for
this newbie question.
The manual clearly states the following:
"Since indentation is what governs the structure of these lists, many
structural constructs like #+BEGIN_... blocks can be indented to signal
that they belong to a particular item. "
Ok. By searching in Emacs for different commands containing "indent" I
was able to find out that pressing C-j in a list item indents the next
line so that a subsequently written source block would also be indented.
But let us assume that I already have a source block, and it is not
indented correctly; what is the easy way to indent this block in a list?
(I can always keep pressing spacebar, but it does not feel very
intelligent.)

I select the region, then `C-x r t' to insert the whitespaces.
But I don't feel very clever neither, we should have a better
way for this -- something that deactivate folding and indent
to the beginning of the list item above.

If you indent just the #+BEGIN_SRC line and then use C-c ' to open the source editor and C-c ' to close it again it indents all source to the level of the BEGIN_SRC line.
For example
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(message (number-to-string
(- (point)
10))
#+END_SRC
Becomes
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(message (number-to-string
(- (point)
10))
#+END_SRC
Is that closer to what you wanted?
All the best
Phil

Mark the block as you would mark regularly. Then to 10 spaces you can do
this:
C-u 1 0 C-x TAB
To figure out the number of spaces to add, you mentally the subtract the
current column with the target column. Turn on M-x column-number-mode if
you need to to figure out what column you are on.
or
Refer the last paragraph in:
(info "(emacs) Indentation Commands")
or
Launch the info manual with: C-h r
Visit the needed index entry with: i indent-rigidly

I use C-x r o, which doesn't require to count the spaces, and is more
visual.

I'm not sure we should provide this. There are already so many ways,
often in muscle memory, to achieve the same in Emacs that we probably
shouldn't bother.

Clever -- I start to love this mailing list ;)

The attached patch let `org-metaright' indent a drawer or a block
correctly. It introduces two new function ̀org-indent-block' and
`org-indent-drawer' which derive from local hacks I'm using quite
often now.
Perhaps ̀org-metaright' is not the best keybinding for this function,
please suggest a better one.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] org.el: Make `org-metaright' indent drawers and blocks.
* org.el (org-at-drawer-p): Normalize the docstring to match
other `org-at-*-p' docstrings.
(org-indent-block, org-indent-drawer, org-at-block-p): New
functions.
(org-metaright): Use the new functions to indent a drawer or a
block depending on the context. Also update the docstring.

I've tested this patch and just applied it.
Using M-<right> on a drawer keyword (like ":PROPERTIES:") will
indent the whole drawer. org-metaright looks quite natural most
of the time, since the purpose is to realign the drawer with the
headline/paragraph above, and statistically (?) headlines are
more often refiles to subsubtrees than to trees.
