That's more a question for Ubuntu maintainers. 18.04 is supported until 2023, and since the fixes have been applied or are going to be applied to later releases, I think there is a good chance for it to be fixed if requested. I would suggest you ask on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data-server/+bug/1925742 about that. On the other hand, you mention you are not using Ubuntu 18.04 directly. So, depending how they handle newer packags, even after being fixed you might find that still isn't readily available there. OR they could be willing to fix it downstream. I'm not familiar with their policies. Alternatively, you could install a newer version using flatpack (which may have its own drawbacks), or backport it yourself. That's surely more work than receiving it from others, but free software *allows* you to do that. Other licenses leave you completely at the mercy of the vendor.
