IMHO, whether we're currently using it or not is tangential.

The sponsor has granted / reserved resources for QEMU, which can have
a direct cost for them, and/or take away from what the can grant other
projects. As such we should be creditting them for giving us this grant,
even if we've not got around to using it.

If we do decide to give up any particular resources, it is a quick patch
to update this page again.

My only suggestion would be that we don't explicitly state /what/ we're
using the resource for, just that we've been granted it

IOW say something more like

    [Fosshost](https://fosshost.org/) has provided QEMU
    access to a dedicated physical compute host.

    [Microsoft](https://microsoft.com) has provided QEMU
    with credits for use on Azure Cloud.

etc
