Interesting article about what it means to be a Game Developer over at Gamasutra. Of course, it seems to be addressing a problem that is more of an issue for large game companies than it is for the independent game studio. Myself I have to know programming, and I have to do design, and I have to at least be able to manipulate artwork, and I have to have some business sense...
Of course if I had a team of folks available, I suspect I would "personally" go more for the Game Designer tag. Since I would still want to work on the core concept and be at least somewhat involved in the character design and the script. Again, one of the things I enjoy about RenPy is that writing the script also comprises a lot of creating the program anyway. It helps if you have some graphics (final or placeholder) available to indicate your scene changes directly rather than have to go back through and change english to the actual image mapping. But it still covers a lot of the work.
Just my .02 worth...
