Hello,
I am also wondering what's the status of this bug.

It has been forwarded upstream with a patch on March 2014, but it seems
to have received no reply from upstream yet.

Could someone urge upstream to review the patch and apply it, please?

This "all or nothing" support for GRUB passwords is really frustrating:
I would like to restrict (with a password) the ability to edit menu
entries, without restricting the ability to select the menu entries.
As previously said, this is not currently possible (without locally
patching /etc/grub.d/* stuff).

I really hope this annoying regression may be fixed soon.
Thanks for your time!

Bye.
