For what it's worth: Wireshark upstream releases regular micro-release, supporting each major version for at least two years. I have considered applying for an SRU MicroReleaseException [1] a couple of times in the past, but never had the time to really dig in and figure out all the requirements.
If somebody from the Ubuntu side would like to assist me with that I think that would be the best way to keep Ubuntu's Wireshark package secure going forward.
