promisers
Those who commit
Promisers are people who make promises.
The term often carries a slightly skeptical or evaluative tone, distinguishing those who merely promise from those who actually deliver: The campaign trail is full of promisers, but few follow through once elected.
In legal and contractual contexts, a promiser (also spelled promisor) is the party who commits to performing some obligation.
