Magento 2 Braintree declined orders not sending Payment Failed emails

Question

I'm using Braintree as default payment method for my Magento 2.2.3 store.

Sometimes, It happens that customer cannot finish checkout as his CC gets declined, when this happens I would like to get notified on email with information like what customer experienced this problem, what did he have in cart and what was order total.

As far as I understand, Magento 2 has this feature built-in but looks like it's not working properly with Braintree payment method. How could I fix this? I see that function sendPaymentFailedEmail is called from module checkout controller named SaveOrder.php in case of 2 errors (in 2 catch blocks), but it does not seem that Braintree error ever gets there.

I was able to solve this when I manually applied this patch , I hope this will be merged soon :)
