One minor disadvantage of the current way that the letters work is that
it will only select the command, not execute it.
This is probably because the letters are not “unique”, so immediatly executing the command could lead to unexpected results.

Pressing A-Z already works to select the first item in the menu starting with that letter.
That does not seem to work properly. Pressing ⌘Y and then B will select "Branches" instead of "Browse Annotated File". For P it will select "Pop Stash" instead of "Pull". One minor disadvantage of the current way that the letters work is that it will only select the command, not execute it.
The Git bundle was developed a little different, and I think the goal there was to put the most commonly used items near the top, so that these would be reachable with the number keys.
Understandable. It just happens that I use a couple of commands that do not have an associated number more often a couple of the commands that do have numbers.
Personally I wouldn’t be against re-arranging the Git menu so that it would work better with letter keys, but I fear it would upset a lot of people who are e.g. used to ⌘Y + 2 for commit, etc.
If it would be possible to add keyboard shortcuts for the menu that is not dependent on the order, the existing order could be preserved for backwards compatibility. That is, it would be possible to use both numbers and letters.
The way it works is that the SCM bundle has a proxy item bound to ⌘Y (not the Git bundle!).
Aha, that's were it's hiding :)
