Commenter:

[Merriam-Webster]

one who comments; especially : one who leaves a comment on an Internet site, story, page, etc.

Also note (all from Merriam-Webster):

Questioner (under question):

intransitive verb
to ask questions : INQUIRE
— questioner noun

Answerer (under answer):

intransitive verb
1 : to speak or write in reply · neglected to answer the letter
— answerer noun

  • The two additional words were quoted in a somewhat unintuitive way; I’ve changed the wording a bit to make it easier to parse. Feel free to undo if you don’t think it has the intended effect. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Jul 4 '18 at 15:37
  • @JanusBahsJacquet Thanks, that helped. I find every way of expressing this a bit awkward, but I take your point. – Jason Bassford Jul 4 '18 at 16:14
