Yes, we definitely don't want this in the top navbar as it is irrelevant
information to essentially every single visitor. We're only adding this
because one of the sponsors asked for it.

I'd say it can be linked in the footer, adjacent to the link to
the SFC.

Or maybe we just replace the SFC link with a link "About QEMU" and
on that page document that we're a member of the SFC and also
document official sponsors, and any other companies whose services
we rely on unofficially (eg the gitlab point below).

More importantly than that, do the trademark terms for each company
here permit us to actually use their logo on our website ?
