Well, grepping the sources for GtkActionEntry could be a start.
I've seen keybindings being hardcoded.

You could also consider using a DAW tablet app, which is basically a
MIDI controller with a (customizable) GUI. The MIDI output controls
GIMP via its MIDI input device. I haven't tried that yet, but perhaps
it's a source of inspiration for you. You'll find some posts to this
topic in the GIMP developer mailing list archives.
