I don't think that anyone will be forgetting it anytime soon,
particularly since some DEs will make it through the war and get off
scot-free (why shouldn't it happen again, it did the first time. I can
imagine Lucius getting away with it again). His being a spy would
probably remain secret again after the second war (to keep the former
DEs from killing him), thus he wouldn't get any public praise. 

As to whether or not he deserves the praise after his DE activities...
well, after seeing what the DEs were capable of, knowing what
Voldemort was capable of, knowing that he would be marked for death if
it was ever revealed that he changed sides... yes, he deserves praise
for that. He knew what the dark side was capable of, and still changed
over, that's either very brave or very stupid, take your pick.
