PS:

IOW assuming the coders of Evolution would "support" an outdated version
of Evolution, it not necessarily would make it into a distro's
repository. Let alone that bug fixes not necessarily could be applied by
a patch to software such as Evolution. A bug fix might require a more
recent version of a dependency. The crux of the matter is, that
Evolution is closely linked with GNOME.

Btw. take a look at https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Flatpak or
since the OP is an Ubuntu user, see https://docs.snapcraft.io/build-snaps/ .
I will not comment on flatpak and snappy.
