It seems as though somebody's recently added a new
product
to "Wikimedia" in Bugzilla for AcaWiki. I'm just curious what
AcaWiki is.

It's a Creative Commons project to summarize academic research.
Definitely a very cool project with relevance to a lot of what we do
(including esp. the wiki research community). They've expressed some
interest in WMF hosting as a more natural place for this wiki to be.
We're talking about what it would take to make that happen (although a
short-term migration is unlikely), and some of the folks requested
being able to use a Wikimedia bugtracker as part of this process.
I was under the impression they only wanted to use Bugzilla to track
migration issues, but it seems like they're using it also as a general
tracking tool. I don't have an opinion on that -- if you feel it adds
noise to Bugzilla, I'm sure they'd be happy to track ongoing
operational issues somewhere else.
