answerers
Those who reply
Answerers are people who provide answers, whether to questions, problems, or requests.
The term appears most often in contexts where responding is a defined role or regular activity: The answerers on the tech forum were surprisingly helpful.
Someone who picks up phones, responds to surveys, or fields queries in any systematic way might be called an answerer, though the word remains somewhat formal and less common than alternatives like respondent.
