Just running strip command on the binaries from https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.9.0/ reduces the compressed size of Gitea binaries for 64-bit Linux by 10 megabytes, which is almost 30% of the original size:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.9.0/gitea-1.9.0-linux-amd64.xz | xz -d > gitea-1.9.0-linux-amd64
$ xz -k -9 < gitea-1.9.0-linux-amd64 | wc -c
35780080
$ strip gitea-1.9.0-linux-amd64 
$ xz -k -9 < gitea-1.9.0-linux-amd64 | wc -c
25514852

So it might be a good idea to add stripping for the binaries as a build step in CI release script for all platforms that support it.
