It's easy to spew out 1K LOC/week of low effort code for simple projects. It takes far more skill to produce 125 lines of high-quality code in a complex one.

My most productive recent change had a negative LOC count, and will have a big impact.

It's entirely impossible to make an assessment of whether or not 125 lines is good or bad in this instance without knowing more about the type of project etc., but that it is a mature project is already a strong indicator the number quite possibly should be fairly low.
