tix needs to stay because it's still used on Windows on older Python versions and still works fine. I think this could be merged if you drop that commit and remove the other two entries?

Right, tix was not removed from CPython until 3.13. From What’s New In Python 3.13:

Remove the tkinter.tix module (deprecated in Python 3.6).

That said, the tix download entry is not used. Tcl/Tk on Windows is provided by a prebuilt binary from python/cpython-bin-deps which includes tix in the tcltktk-8.6.* tags. The tix entry refers to the source which is not used during the build. It does serve to pull in the LICENSE.tix.txt file.
