It's pretty obvious when Minerva could get her punishment, if the Dragon Festival may happen and dragons and demons are getting released it's perfect for Minerva to get mauled by a demon or dragon in the process. It doesn't ALWAYS have to be Fairy Tail that gets revenge for a villains actions or crimes. And what Minerva did wasn't even that heinous to begin with, Gajeel tortured Lucy as well( didn't he actually throw knives at her?) I'm pretty sure if Minerva gets beat by Erza( if they ever fight) she would have just as much chance into joining Fairy Tail as Gajeel did back in the Phantom Lord Arc.
