Usually to the active ability of Hero they "belong" to. This might be enough to pop him an extra point of augment to the leader. (eg Hero Ability 4w gets a +2 augment from follower, goes from a +2 to +3 bonus).

It all comes down to Narrator Discretion, of course. But if five guys are "just standing around" and being a Greek chorus, then I'd look up 5 people on the Community bonus chart (+2 for Complete Support), and apply that number (suitably modified by Support level, of course).
