There was already an evolution/widgets/e-table (and e-text) existing few 
years back. So, we had to move e-table and e-text widgets with different 
directory names. This was done to preserve the cvs history of the old 
widgets/e-table and widgets/e-text.

The ChangeLogs have not moved. Like for gal/gal/menus which has merged 
into evolution/widgets/menus, if we move the ChangeLog of gal/menus into 
widgets/menus, there would be two places where future changes of 
widgets/menus could be present. i.e. one at widgets/Changelog and other 
at widgets/menus/ChangeLog. Subsequently, we might only use 
widgets/menus/ChangeLog, but it would confuse someone looking for old 
changes.
However, we could still add the existing Changelog of gal/e-table to 
evolution/widgets/table, since it is new directory.

Luckily, there were no previous e-text or e-table directories existing 
in a11y earlier.
