Hi
Keep an eye on https://www.ubuntuupdates.org
3.28.3 is on the next release of ubuntu, as Mint uses ubuntu libs you
should be able to update as soon as it appears on the list.
Filing a bug report both on linux mint and ubuntu will speed up the
process.
The ubuntu maintainer of the Evo packages may well be on this list, or
known to someone on this list, and worth contacting.

Updates on LM19 are appearing all the time so it will not be a wait
until LM20
