Sorry to hear it. I groundlooped a vintage taildragger a few years back and I must say it removed my enthusiasm for flying vintage aircraft pretty thoroughly. Haven't looked at a Tiger Moth the same way since.

Practically speaking whether it gets reported is largely in the hands of the airport management - if they choose to report it, it's reported. But either way a sudden stoppage requires an engine teardown, which hurts in the wallet and means you're grounded for a while.
