Alas, we hardly knew ye!

And we hardly knew how your name was spelled!

(I do have to wonder, though -- what happened to all the reanimation technology that Europa had at the beginning of the story?)

IIRC, the reanimation tech we've seen could bring back the bodies, but restoring memories and personality depends on the brain still being in good condition. So the Baron revived Olga thinking he'd get an empty Heterodyne body, which might still be useful, and Gil sent Vole to find the head of the leader of the force that attacked Mechanicsburg ASAP so that Dr. Sun could preserve his head for questioning.

The crew doesn't look too bad, but we don't know how long they've been dead. We haven't seen Madwa or Zardeliv to guess. Maybe they'll all be revived, but so far that seems to require an attending spark (possibly an attending spark with a medical specialty, which includes Gil and Dr. Sun, don't know about the Baron), and how many revivifications one spark could handle at a time (or keep paying attention to in series -- they can be rather distractable) is an open question.

Or whether they were killed in an anti-revive manner.

Madwa had Prende's lantern, and Martellus was hunting Margarella Selnikov who had Van Rijn's notebook which showed how/where to get the lantern, so it seems plausible to me that forces working for Marty attacked the sub.
However sending the sub full of dead people on its way doesn't seem like Martys style.

More importantly, I don't think the yet unnamed woman is going to be Madwa.

The yet unnamed woman could be feigning death, in which case it might be Madwa.

We'll know it was Madwa if it's a cardboard cutout under the sheet.

Haha, yup.
Personally I'm not convinced that the other body belongs to Zardeliv either.
Madwa's been doing a very dangerous job for a long time, and she has lots of enemies. She knows how to have a few escape options organized. I'm sure exiting the sub - maybe with Zardeliv, maybe without - was always part of her plans.
