file .gtkmenurc has the list of short cuts.
These commands already have an accelrator key:

File/Open/Match or session..." "<Control>o")
Game/Take" "<Control>t")
File/New/Game" "<Control>n")
Edit/Copy" "<Control>c")
Game/Roll" "<Control>r")
Game/Next move" "<Shift>Page_Down")
Game/Next game" "<Control>Page_Down")
Analyse/Hint" "<Control>h")
Edit/Paste" "<Control>v")
File/Save/Match or session..." "<Control>s")
Edit/Undo" "<Control>z")
Game/Drop" "<Control>p")
Game/Previous move" "<Shift>Prior")
File/Quit" "<Control>q")
Analyse/Evaluate" "<Control>e")
Game/Previous game" "<Control>Prior")

Example to add an accelerator key:

(start gnubg. new game or new match)
Click 'File'
navigate to:
New / Match (but don't click yet)
now:
click and hold the left button of the mouse
Press Ctrl, hold it. Press m
GTK+ adds Ctrl + m after match

Whenever you press Ctrl + m, gnubg will execute:
File / New / Match

Two remarks:
1. Look at the existing shortcuts so they won't conflict
2. Settings / Save if you want to keep your accelerator keys
