I do indeed understand that there are a lot of CCP people recruited from the playerbase. There at least used to be a fair amount of people recruited amongst the roleplayer community, too - but, logic would say that as people roleplaying in EVE are the minority, so probably are roleplayers-turned-devs. And even further, players-turned-devs at positions with any power would probably limit these to very early hires, except for players with a very long experience in the business.
What counts is that the people who care of specific things get hired in the right places, I'd say. Eterne, Falcon, Fozzie and Rise are all looking like sitting on exactly the right chairs. If the trend continues, future looks quite bright, even if some lines get ordered by the rule of cool.
