Oh, I'm sure it is on their CoD back burner. But the lack of IW at the Wii U helm isn't surprising given the circumstances (resources and dev kits) and history (Treyarch game and engine porting).
IW has been pretty vocal about being anti-Nintendo in the past too. That could (if we stick to speculation) be one of several reasons why Activision never ordered SDK's for them.

I was actually surprised, I thought that the whole Treyarch on ninty thing was just cause the WIi was so far behind the HDs that they might have well just get a different team to work on the game, since the assets would be different, i thought it would not be an issue with WIi U since its closer to the HDs that WIi ever was and it would be a simple port job, guess i was wrong.
I was thinking this too, but i thought the ones who were really anti Ninty at IW left to form Respawn, maybe im wrong and maybe its still in effect. And they just continuing with buisness a usual, im sure the game will be fine, Treyarch knows what to do, the whole thing just struck me as odd. It would be like it they had one team develop a COD for PS3 and have different one develop for 360 and yet another for PC

Treyarch worked on a lot of Activision's Wii projects and have really established themselves as being able to work incredibly well on Nintendo hardware. Given the already overloaded status of IW and Treyarch's history, this seemed almost as it should be. But I can see from the perspective of someone that see all the details going on back then and now would be surprised that IW isn't handling the development.
When you actually think about it, I'm surprised IW is taking on as much as it is. A new engine, 5 SDK's with 2 of them being brand new, high end hardware. Their work week must suck big time. If they are pulling less than 14 hour days, 6 days per week, I'd be shocked.
And it was more than just Zampella that spoke out against Wii at IW though many did so in discrete channels rather than via the media.

thats fair, i just figured since the WIi U is brand new hardware and not a WIi it would get essentially a clean slate a tablua rasa and IW would just make the game for it since it doesnt have the issues the WIi had, guess not.
