Basically, they generally assigned a single person (or pair if Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were doing it) to an episode idea and they got the writing credit for the entire episode.

I guess they also have the last word on the script. Like if you have a team of 10 writers, you can end with 2^10 - 1 different scripts, and someone have to say which of them is the one being filmed.
