That is something completely different, since

1. Ubuntu has a huge users base and provides quite good support, e.g. by
mailing lists. Mint doesn't.

2. Take a look at the Debian tracker, for example

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ardour

on the right side the Ubuntu link is available, Debian and Ubuntu do
cooperate. There is no direct cooperation with Mint.

3. Ubuntu takes over responsibility, for example

https://usn.ubuntu.com/

Note, I'm an Arch Linux user. I'm an advocate of official Ubuntu
flavours, because Ubuntu IMO is a really good trade-off for those who
need a helping hand.
