praisers
Those who commend
Praisers are people who praise—those who express approval, admiration, or commendation.
The word appears most often in religious contexts, referring to worshippers who offer praise to God: The praisers lifted their voices in song.
Outside religious settings, it sounds slightly awkward; people more often say "those who praise" or name the specific admirers.
