They stand for "Type" and "Priority". I believe they're abbreviated to give you maximum space for the issue title, if you hover over the column header you'll see the full column name - but I agree that's not an ideal first impression.
Now that you mention it I agree that in the "Priority" column in particular it can be a bit tricky to differentiate between some of the values ("Minor" and "Trivial" in particular). These have recently been replaced with some much more easily distinguishable ones in JIRA[0], which I'm sure will make it to Bitbucket soon. Thanks for the feedback! I'll pass it on to the designers of both the JIRA & Bitbucket teams.
It's not horrible but one of the things I don't like is the listing of open Issues.
There is a 'T' heading and a 'P' heading. That's not descriptive enough. Then the items under those headings are icons that aren't easily identified.
I can never remember what the T and P stand for and I still don't know what the icons mean. Some of the icons seem to be the same for different things. I'd rather see the name.
While I don't hate Bitbucket these items are confusing enough for me to try something else (probably GitLab) the next time I need a private repo.
