Will MacAskill does, and I think many other CEA employees. I think Jeff Kaufman and Julia Wise do an ad-hoc thing but similar in that they mostly don't treat the percentage donated as relevant--they set their personal allowance based on making their best effort without taking into account how much they're currently earning. (I'm not 100% sure this is accurate though.) I don't know the giving habits of many other EtGers but I wouldn't be surprised if they used a broadly similar method to Jeff and Julia.
Julia and I handle our donations differently:
Last year I went for 30%, this year I'm going for 33%.
EDIT: As of 2014-07-15 we're now using a simpler system: we both donate half of what we earn.
