I'd say the golden rule applies here too, put yourself in their shoes and think, if you'd have done that mistake would you want the other side to hold against you or give you a chance to make amends?
If the mistake I did was really stupid, if it had all the criterias I listed in the OP and to a very high level I don't think I would see myself as worthy of forgiveness.
