So far it seems fine on Safari, although I've not tested in-depth. 
There's a small problem on the downloads page, but that also happens 
with other browsers apparently.  I've attached a screenshot to the 
tracker item.

Yeah, no doubt. :)

Is this something you or I could do?  Maybe I should read up on exactly 
what this is...

The website will probably not need much maintenance, but if there are 
bugs/issues it'd be nice if they could be assigned to a specific person 
on the tracker (ideally the one who wrote it :)), who then looks into 
them as time permits.

Hmm, yes.  Good point.
