I'm not sure where or why it started, but part of it is the realisation that using P for pause is a carryover from the days when MAME was arcade-only. I personally use the aptly-named Pause/Break key for Pause, just like many DOS games do.
A few of the devs have been trying out various new layouts for the UI keys, and afaik it's still in progress. Last time I looked Pause is now on F5, but it might have moved again. I'm waiting for it to be settled before I learn what they've done. Hopefully someone will update/add documentation so people won't have to do experiments.
