Why vote for something if you don't know what you're voting for?
I think he wanted to get an idea of what people would want to see in a book if he were to publish another.
His Malboro was probably just an old doodle of sorts. It's obviously not touched up like any of his newer, cleaner works, so I'd doubt he has much of a record of what he did to fold it. If you want one, you're proabaly best of designing your own.

I was really impressed by Kamiya's malboro. I would also like to know how he did it, but it is old, and any hope for a CP or diagram is pretty futile.
The picture is pretty blurry and the model is small, so it is hard to tell anything about its structure (I think the bottom tentacles are from the edges and the tons of tiny tentacles on the head are middle/edge flaps; I think the top jaw is from a corner/edge and the bottom one is from the middle, but apart from that I don't know). It is a really good-looking model so it is a shame.

A shame is right. But I think I'm more sad about his Odin design being on the same page of 'things we're never gonna see published', haha.

Sure, it is probably boxpleated, but probably not 'just boxpleated'. Boxpleating makes things easier to design, but there are also many things you can do with it that you can't do with traditional design-it is just as much a valid design tool. A lot of people seem to look down on boxpleating, and that shouldn't be.
The difference for me is that boxpleated CPs are easy to refold. Sure, you need a lot of shaping but getting the reference points and collapsing the base is relatively easy (as soon as you know some tricks).
The first time I stumbled about boxpleating I was really frustrated, it was just like "hej, what for should I try to design something from scratch, if really everything can be done with boxpleating?". Boxpleating is a superb technique and has many possibilities, but for me a traditionally designed model still holds a special fascination that can't be achieved by boxpleated designs.
But I know, I'm not allowed to talk much until I design some more complicated stuff...

Of course it's just box-pleated. And the Phoenix isn't any more interesting. The Ryu-zin does use some very clever tricks, but it is still box-pleated. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't make for good diagramming.
And as far as the vote is concerned, I'm pretty sure that he means releasing the CPs. For all the major Ryu-zin versions.
There are a bunch more interesting options further down the page, such as the 106-ranked Lyrebird, the 31-ranked Diamond, and at 13, the Spinosaurus. The Cerberus is not at all fun to fold, though it would be nice to know the proper way to finish it off.

I'm pretty sure it was just something for him to see what people were interested in because on my translation it said something about he doesn't have to release the voted model but 'is so he can see'. The translation wasn't very good but that's the gist of it. I personally go for Ryu-zin. Even though he is boxpleated I would want diagrams for the finishing, how does he get the feet and scales so perfect? And the face details.... I love Ryuzin- he's my favorite origami model.
