Add Launchpad PPA's with apt-add-repository

You can add Launchpad repositories and import the keys with this tool (Have a look at the Ubuntu documentation).
All you have to do is replacing the Package python-software-properties.
Download it from here and install it with dpkg:
dpkg -i python-software-properties_0.75.10_all.deb
Now you can import PPA's from Launchpad:
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type" />sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/extra
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qisoburn
Have fun:)

With Mint 13 that is at least.
I have messed around a bit, so an addition can be made: even if you have the python package, you can't add a PPA from the GUI as this will not reload the package list properly. Only from CLI like above can you add a PPA in Mint.
python-software-properties is already installed and working properly in Linux Mint 9
Alternatively go to Software Sources and enter the ppa: line as a new source on the Other Software tab.
